do you ever think about how the horrors of the night melt away under the warm glow of survival of the day (then we move on) my shadow grows taller along with my fears and my frame shrinks smaller as night grows near?

What can you say about the canon and semi-canon ships of Demon Slayer? Like Obamitsu, Sanekana, Giyushino, and the Kamaboko squad with their respective pairs? I'm very curious and I love your art by the way ♥️

Thank you anon!

I actually ship most of the pairing you have mentioned ^^ But I'm still going to consider the other ships like Akaza and Koyuki, Tengen and his wives, and of course other implied ships. I'm a huge shipper and I always say 'I want you and you to kiss' with every movie or series I watch. But shipping in demon slayer just hurts man :') Gotouge has hurt me countless times. BUT! Let's just forget about that for a minute. Oh and spoilers ahead.

(I'm gonna go in order with the ship implication in the manga. If I can remember)

ZenNezu - Oh I love them. I just think that it's so freaking sweet how this loud yellow boy, who's afraid of getting hurt and of demons, took a beating for a demon. And because he's a simp really kind hearted person, he treats Nezuko like a human and not a monster like what everybody else perceives a demon. I also love that the two didn't automatically got together in the end, because if they did, Nezuko would just come of as a prize to be won and she really isn't. She's a strong woman worth stanning and Zenistsu would agree 100%

Tamayo x Yushiro - To be honest, it's a nah for me. It's cute how loyal Yushiro is towards Tamayo, but she's very motherly towards him and that isn't a dynamic that I quite enjoy.

GiyuShino - Bro I dove into this head-first. The whole 'Nobody likes you' was just OH MY GOYD THE TENSION. And that headlock? DON'T GET ME STARTED. The bickering and teasing just stole my heart. And hiMEJIMA YOU ABSOLUTE GOLD MINE! I just love how their so comfortable with each other that they can insult each other til they both turn gray (they remind me a lot of MonDler). But sadly, they can't turn gray together. They actually can't.

TanKana - These two are a must protect, wholesome bunch of cinnamon rolls. Some people do say that Tankana is a forced pair, but I don't think it is. Because first of all, the two like each other; Kanao after the coin toss scene and Tanjirou under the cherry blossom tree. And they were teased several times in the recovery arc and when Tanjirou woke up from his coma after the entertainment district. They bring the best out of each other and they're words seem to hit hard towards the other (the 'it's the heart that drives a person' which started Kanao's arc, and the 'come back to us' which knocks some sense into Tanjirou).

Kagaya x Amane - YES. I know Amane was assigned to be Kagaya's wife but the level of respect they have for one another is just a huge couple goal. Their relationship wasn't explored much like the other ships of kny, but it was obvious that they cared for each other.

Tengen x His wives - I've already ranted enough with the last three ships so I'm not going to talk about Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru one by one. Although I don't ship it, I think they're really sweet. Just one big family that really care for each other.

ObaMitsu - They're cute but I don't ship them as much as I ship the other pairs I've ranted about. I love how Obanai simps for Mitsuri, hard. And the fact that Mitsuri can be -not your average, weird girl who can't seem to fill that void for a stomach- herself around Obanai, with him still being a head over heels for her. Glad they were given a second chance :)

Akaza x Koyuki - One word: Tragic. The world is so unfair for these childhood sweethearts, especially for Akaza. You know I'm still mad at him for murdering the greatest thing that ever existed bless his soul, his backstory really made me angry for him. Too bad they were never reincarnated.

Yoriichi x Uta - Also a no. I mean I really want Yoriichi to have his break and be happy with his wife, but I don't really ship them. I'm not really a big fan of living under the same roof with your future spouse as children.

SaneKana - These two are underrated as fork. But I get it, they were teased more in the light novel and fanbook (Himejima bless your soul) and some people are not familiar with these editions. Their dynamic -as phrased by shipping.fandom.com- brooding boy x gentle girl. Despite their obvious and vast difference, they can relate to both their similarities. And I REALLY love how fan fictions portray Sanemi being a blushing mess and can't seem to articulate what he's saying when Kanae manages to catch him off guard and he'd just scream at her to shut up. And they're a pretty hot couple ngl.

InoAoi - Between the pairings for the Kamaboko squad, inoaoi is the one I ship the least. I still ship them though, but they kind of came out of nowhere at the end of the manga. Fanfics actually made me ship them. I read one that Aoi (despite her tough exterior) was pretty motherly. She reminded Inosuke of Shinobu and that's when he started developing feelings. And I love how Inosuke (despite the headaches) can bring a smile to Aoi.

Did I forget something?

NaLu analysis: Context, Substance, and Chemistry

Many FT readers find, one way or another, multiple moments that showcase the strength of NaLu and highlight their chemistry.

However, not everyone is capable of perceiving how the story nourishes this relationship, not only by means of obvious moments but also by the context of several scenes.

This is one of the reasons why wankers are prone to ignore or completely disregard context to fabricate something to make implausible premises (cracks) seem as solid as a semi-canon pairing.

For example, some use the following scenario as a sign of a rising romantic relationship: the female lead slaps a character she and her partner are familiar with because he trash-talked the values the guild stood for, something that hurt her a lot.

Granted it was all an act and the guy apologized at the end, but the slap and apology are still overhyped by wankers as something as big as what NaLu may offer.

However, when this scene is put in the context of what Lucy’s character was going through, the story points in a different direction.

The scene was painful to Lucy because she was struggling against the fear of the FT guild, which she considers her family, not coming back, and having a member of that family bad-mouthing the guild only confirmed her fears... until it was revealed that was all an act. And this isn’t just speculation; right after everyone returned, Lucy expressed to Natsu, Happy, and Wendy this fear she had

But the context also offers something else. Let us ask, what gave Lucy the strength and hope she needed to, at the very least, fight this fear?

Instead of “what” we should ask “who.” The answer? Natsu, who not only provided Lucy with the hope she needed in a passive way. He also took action in response to her desire to get the guild back together and brought her to an adventure to reunite their scattered guildmates.

Again, this isn’t mere speculation. Natsu worked in the idea of getting the guild back together right after this scene:

While not explicitly romantic, these actions are far more meaningful than an overhyped slap/apology.

It’s safe to say that this element is quite unfriendly with less likely premises. Still, context not only refutes non-sensical arguments, but it also enhances NaLu moments when factoring it into the equation.

For example, the movie storyboarded by Mashima himself, Dragon Cry, features a moment previously analyzed in another post. The moment by itself looks strong, but it’s the context that further solidifies the scene as “NaLu.”

At the beginning of the story, we get Natsu asking Lucy in a curious manner “What do I look like?”. This line will be repeated at the end in the form of a "meaningful echo" as Natsu beats the bad guy with a new transformation (which made him look more like a dragon and less like a person for a while).

So, the context now gives the scene a deeper meaning as it shows how much Natsu values the perspective Lucy has of his person and how it affects his character the way she sees him.

More often than not, context allows readers to grasp the substance of a relationship and, in some cases, even individual characters.

On the other hand, there’s another underrated element many either disregard or misinterpret. It is something we already considered in an earlier post, but given how wankers try to twist this concept to downgrade NaLu, we’re going to touch this subject once again: Chemistry

As we explained before, many readers can admit NaLu has several moments throughout the author’s works, but wankers or haters still deem this bond as something lacking in “real chemistry.”

Some of you probably read my previous “rant” before and realized, one way or another, wankers promote arguments to say “implausible” premises can easily match what NaLu has. And one relatively new argument relies on the claim of certain cracks having “real chemistry” while NaLu doesn’t have any...

Does this claim hold any merits?

Short answer: No. Logic and evidence refute such arguments

First, let us consider the term “chemistry” once again. To truly understand this concept in the context of literary works we need to what true chemistry is not

True chemistry is not about commonalities. Usually playing the straight man or woman in crazy situations doesn't automatically makes you a match for someone who may do the same.

True chemistry is not about saving the girl or getting rescued by someone. A typical advice about writing chemistry indicates that it should never be implied that a character owns the other a relationship because of favors done. Saving the girl is not enough to claim a pairing has the "superior" chemistry.

Now that we cleared that up, we can answer the question: What is chemistry?

In the context of relationships, chemistry is related to mutual trust/faith; it’s a natural connection, "a bond, or common feeling between two people." In fact, "real chemistry between characters happens when they affect each other in big ways." 

So, we can measure chemistry, not by commonalities, not by the characters' overall intelligence, but by how the moments they share leave an impact. When meaningful gestures and significant moments result in an emotional attachment.

But, despite all of this wankers may insist on their premises being just as solid as NaLu. What do they use as “evidence” for this claim?

The first thing many of these shippers tend to use is a “Freudian Slip” to prove a Mr. Fanservice character is seeking a romantic relationship with Lucy. The line goes something like this: “She’s kinda cute.”

Does NaLu have something better than that?

He deemed Lucy as “precious” to him as he battled the one who killed Lucy’s future self. His tears along with his actions made his words far more meaningful than a mere “Freudian Slip.”

Another moment that wankers may use involves this setting: Lucy powering through a great deal of danger and pain to save Natsu’s life with the assistance of the guy wankers promote as her would-be lover.

Does NaLu have an answer to that? Yes! All thanks to the context

The epicenter of Lucy’s emotional and physical struggle is Natsu and his potential fate after releasing him from the one thing that ties his life to Zeref’s existence.

What wankers used to justify their premises in this point of the story, turns out to be more supporting evidence of the strength of Lucy’s bond with Natsu when we factor context!

All that these shippers have left are very occasional “saved the girl” scenes and a few displays of “concern.”

We already mentioned how the reasoning “saving the girl means she owns her savior a relationship,” doesn’t match what a natural chemistry between characters should be. But, for the sake of debate let’s consider these moments anyway.

Wankers use these few showings to claim their favored character should get the 1st spot in Lucy’s heart. Because he shows “concern.” Doesn’t Natsu show a lot of concern for Lucy?

He’s pretty open about it and displays “concern” for her pretty often too, sometimes becoming hard to contain when it comes to the prospect of saving/protecting Lucy

So, if “concern” is the factor to claim a guy should be the girl’s lover/boyfriend/husband, then why wankers hype other characters over Natsu?

What about “saving the girl” scenes?

Natsu protected and saved Lucy...

...multiple times

If saving the girl = we’re a thing now, then why wankers still say their favorite option is the one who has the romantic relationship with Lucy instead of Natsu?

When all arguments are exhausted all that remains is one overhyped instance of Lucy teaming up with a cool sexy guy to parry several sand projectile attacks and claims of “wonderful friendship.”

If teamwork is a factor, then why the “most compatible team” as stated by the manga doesn’t get the same hype?

When analyzing the author’s works, we can see Natsu and Lucy displayed how well they worked together several times

When it comes to their relationship, in a previous post we also considered how their companionship and their potential to become a canon pairing can easily be described as “wonderful,” or as Lucy said: it’s always more fun when we’re together

At the end of the GMG arc, we could see how their bond, the “common feeling” between them could transcend time and space

So, why cracks are the ones deemed as “wonderful” while NaLu gets discarded?

The point is that even when several shippers claim the “saved the girl” scenes from their favored premises hold more merit, NaLu casually matches and surpasses the best they have.

This comparison is not meant to imply that saving the girl cannot be used to advance or enhance the romantic potential of a relationship. Some stories may resort to such a trope to build particular bonds, but what makes such scenes stand out is the context.

For example, one of the first NaLu moments seen in the series is when Lucy gets rescued by Natsu during the Phantom Lord arc. NaLu benefits from this scene not because Natsu was saving Lucy, but for the overall context of her situation...

...as some readers may realized by now, hearing Natsu’s voice as all that Lucy needed to jump off, taking what we could consider a “leap of faith.” This scene helps to stablish a great trust that’s growing between the characters involved.

It becomes even more meaningful when considered as part of a much bigger whole; this “whole” being the progression that created the emotional attachment that Natsu and Lucy share for one another.

Still, despite everything we’ve seen in the author’s works, even some NaLu shippers use this flawed logic to throw Lucy to the bed of a “better-looking” character or having her marry someone “cooler.” All while keeping Natsu, in the case of those who still remember he’s there, as the “other guy.”

This little exercise is meant to illustrate how, even when playing with some particular shippers’ “rules,” NaLu remains as the choice that makes the most sense and has the better chemistry. Unlike what some wankers/haters may say or think, NaLu is more than just a bunch of lovely fanarts.

Some shippers may disregard Natsu as the logical option because of his personality. He’s a good-hearted thrill-seeker; someone upbeat with a fondness for pranks and collecting mementos, as well as someone who’s prone to let out his emotions.

Several shippers don’t find such traits attractive or “worthy” of Lucy, while they favor the archetype of a stylish Mr. Fanservice character who has a cool, calm, and collected personality.

But, a potent relationship is not about what shippers consider “worthy” or “best boi.”

A potent relationship is about meaningful gestures, multiple impactful moments, consistent bonding, and a solid emotional chemistry.

One last thing to consider is this little detail: Some wankers decided to use the cover of chapter 379 not only as a sign of their crack being “semi-canon” but also as a tag for their premise.

When a hater tried to use the cover to attack rival shippers, even casual readers laughed at how delusional was claiming that cover contained anything that could support a pairing.

Then again, if we play by these wankers rules, we could mention two little pieces made by Mashima himself that when put together give us a pretty obvious message:

And as that MJ song says: “Who’s bad?”

What was your first ship, what ship do you hate most, and please rant about the Doctor Who ship of your choice!

what was your first ship, and what fandom is it from?

I’m pretty sure it was Han/Leia. My parents showed me Star Wars when I was quite young (I wanna say like, 7 or 8?) and I remember briefly having some nightmares about Darth Vader, but I got over it pretty quick, then watching the old trilogy fairly obsessively. I started writing my own novelizations of the movies, got extremely obsessed with Return of the Jedi, and Han and Leia’s various romantic moments. 

I don’t think I consciously “shipped” anything until I read Order of the Phoenix when it came out, and I decided Neville and Luna would be really great together - then shortly discovered fanfiction, Fiction Alley, and allll the HP ships I could possibly think of and more. XD

what ship do you hate most?

DISCLAIMER: shippers gonna ship, and I mean zero offense to anyone who enjoys ships I do not. Please skip if you ship because I have Feelings.

I have a very specific, long term hatred of Alex/Izzie from Grey’s Anatomy, and a big part of it honestly comes out of the fandom I was involved in at the time I was obsessed with Grey’s (circa season 4-5 airing). But I just reallllly have a lot of problems with the “romance” that was written for them in those seasons. And more so, the fact that Alex was consistently a horrible human but also consistently forgiven automatically by the fandom at large (and seemingly the writers) simply because Alex had a tough childhood/tragic past. News flash: having a horrible childhood does not excuse you for being a horrible person, and several of the characters had rough lives yet were either not horrible or not excused for their horrible moments, as Alex very, very often was.

I can understand why he is the way he is, but I cannot and will not excuse it, nor get behind him marrying a dying girl because he has the hots for her again (probably definitely because of his own personal issues and coming off a relationship where his previous girl went crazy and tried to commit suicide, because you know, LET’S MAKE IT AS TRAGIC AS POSSIBLE SO WE FEEL BAD or something). I cannot and will not get behind him then yelling at his current new wife all the time because she’s struggling with CANCER, and claiming she basically trapped him into marriage. And this isn’t even getting into him cheating on her when they first dated, nor her treating him poorly and pretty much using him when they went for it a second time, nor him ignoring her very obvious and very problematic symptoms that ultimately revealed her cancer, even though they were technically dating. Like it wasn’t a problem she was clearly acting crazy and claiming to be having sex with a ghost?! Like, that’s not a concern!?

Anyways, they wrote her horrifically by that point anyways, they killed the character I loved the most, everything was an over dramatic soap opera, and I had to quit watching for my mental health. XD

rant about [pairing]

I had to think about this for a bit, because I couldn’t really think of any pairing I passionately dislike enough to rant about. But: I super don’t get shipping Twelve and Clara. Or Twelve and anyone except River and maybe Missy, only because with Peter Capaldi’s age, it feels really squicky to me to ship him with anyone else. I realize that the Doctor is like 900 or 1200 years old, so really, shipping him with anyone is technically an incredible age gap. XD But even so, I just really don’t feel like they had that kind of chemistry, at all. Which is great and fine! Twelve didn’t have “that kind” of chemistry with Bill either, and they were an awesome pair. (I feel like Twelve and Clara’s episodes suffered in the writing department on the whole, which is no fault to them, and also an entirely different semi-rant. XD) I just cannot picture Twelve and Clara at all romantically, nor do I want to. XD

My other semi-rant is that I think a lot of people don’t have enough feels about Nine/Rose on the whole. Understandable when we had content like Doomsday and her ending up with TenTwo, to think of her as one unit/pair with Ten. But like her Nine tho! TALK ABOUT CHEMISTRY?! The entire Empty Child/Doctor Dances episodes are brimming with it, as well as of course the Bad Wolf finale. But like, consider that Nine came out of the War Doctor - he is fresh off the destruction of his entire race at that point. He is, in many ways, quite broken, but then this bubbly little shop girl shows up and I think the reason why Nine became Ten is because of him falling deeply in love with Rose. So ya, Nine/Rose is super, duper underrated!!

Six Favorites from RM Sotheby’s Upcoming Paris Sale

As part of the Retromobile festivities, RM Sotheby’s puts on a relatively intimate sale in Paris, showcasing an eclectic collection of cars ranging from all eras and nationalities. Compared to some other sales on RM’s docket, its Paris collection puts a subtle focus on uniqueness, rarity, design, and celebrity. Here are six standout cars from the upcoming sale.

1989 Ruf CTR Clubsport

Back in the 1980s, if you wanted a fast 911, you drove a 930 Turbo off the showroom floor. If you wanted the fastest 911, you boarded a plane to Pfaffenhausen and picked up a Ruf CTR. I suppose it’s a bit unfair to simply call the CTR the fastest 911 – in reality, it was one of the fastest cars, ever. With a weapons-grade 3.2-liter twin-turbo flat-six pushing out a severely underrated 469 hp to the rear wheels, the CTR crested 211 mph during a test with Road  & Track back in 1987, cementing it as the fastest semi-production car for a few years.

Ruf only made about 60 CTRs, and they don’t often come up for sale. This stunning Mint Green example is a CTR conversion, originally starting life as a 3.2-liter Carrera. The conversion was completed in 1991, and changed hands multiple times until it finally came to rest in Japan in 1993, where it racked up an impressive 120,000 miles. It returned to Europe in 2015, where it received a handful of updates and repairs.

This 1989 Ruf CTR Clubsport holds a high pre-sale estimate of around $400,000.

ABBA’s 1977 BMW 633 CSi

Celebrity cars are strange. They’re an odd, intimate slice into the history of a film or music superstar, showcasing taste that extends from the demure (David Bowie’s Volvo) to the flamboyant (John Lennon’s psychedelic Rolls-Royce). RM’s 1977 BMW 633 that was previously owned by Swedish pop superstars ABBA falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.

The stylish Bavarian coupe was requisitioned by the band’s record company for use on cross-continental tours, serving as a discrete runabout for Björn Ulvaeus or Benny Andersson. No cosseting automatic for ABBA, it seems – the car comes with its original four-speed manual transmission.

Look for a final sale price near the high estimate of $44,000.

2017 Bugatti Chiron

No modern auction is complete without some sort of modern automotive exotica. Among other supercars like a 2005 Maserati MC12, 2008 Mercedes-McLaren SLR Roadster, and a 2014 McLaren P1, the headlining hypercar is a 2017 Bugatti Chiron coated in two shades of blue.

This is one of the first 20 Chirons delivered worldwide, delivered new in April 2017. It’s a handsomely outfitted car, especially with the deviated saddle tan-over-black interior.

The Chiron is an exclusive car with a long, long waiting list, so it’s no surprise this Chiron carries a pre-sale estimate of $4.5 million, a cool $2 million more than the Chiron’s base price.

Johnny Hallyday’s 1965 Iso Grifo A3/C

This incredibly stylish coupe is one of the very rare Iso Grifo A3/C coupes built by the then-fledgling Italian startup under license to Giotto Bizzarrini. Bizzarrini, spurned by Enzo Ferrari after the infamous Palace Revolt, went on to develop his own high-performance coupe to rival the best Modena had to offer. After a disagreement with Renzo Rivolta, Bizzarrini spun off the A3/C into a brand of his own, forming the base for the Strada series.

This A3/C is one of the earliest examples of the model, wearing the ultra-desirable riveted bodywork. From very early on, the car was briefly owned by Johnny Hallyday, a rock star who achieved immense success in Europe, reaching a level of fame so high in France that he was often referred to as the French version of Elvis Presley.

Look for this Iso Grifo to change hands around the high pre-sale estimate of $3.7 million.

1995 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

Considering how commonplace they are out on the mean streets of southern California, it’s strange to think that at one point, a 911 Turbo Cabriolet was considered obscure rarity. Right after the 993-generation 911 Cabriolet was unveiled in 1995, a Munich-based Porsche dealer approached Porsche regarding a potential Turbo variant of the new droptop. Porsche acquiesced, but required an order up front of at least 10 units. After the sales book closed, only 14 993 Turbo Cabriolets left Porsche Exclusive.

Powering this rarified drop-top was a variant of the turbocharged 3.6-liter from the outgoing 964 Turbo, pushing out around 360 hp. This particular Cab is believed to have been ordered new by Willi Weber, Michael Schumacher’s manager. Owing to the low volume and extremely high price tag, it’s no surprise the car is chock full of special order options, including an interior replete with carbon fiber trim  and a cloth roof in chocolate brown.

Although you can pick up a brand new 911 Turbo Cab for a paltry $175,000, RM expects this 993 Turbo Cab to change hands for a high pre-sale estimate of $900,000.

2005 Bizzarrini Magnate P708 Barchetta

Let’s end this on a weird note. Tossed in amongst mid-century Ferraris, 1980s Porsche 911s, and classic Corvettes, this burnt sienna Bizzarrini stands out like a dropped plate of spaghetti. Don’t worry if you’ve never even heard of this insectoid two-seater – neither have we.

According to the listing, this was an ill-fated attempt to revive the bygone Bizzarrini nameplate into a modern sports car manufacturer. $3.5 million was invested by Magnate, a large Thai manufacturing corporation, working closely with Bizzarrini to create a prototype to travel the auto show circuit.

After a period of development that lasted from 2005 to 2009, the project was abandoned, and the car was left disassembled in Germany. A Bizzarrini enthusiast purchased the P708, and brought it back into complete condition. He’s put roughly 1,000 road miles on the clock since.

Regardless of slightly generic styling and the unfortunate use of AutoMeter gauges, the Barchetta should be a hoot to drive, thanks to an exceptionally low curb weight and the 7.0-liter LS7 V-8 thumping out back.

Despite the strange kit-car appearance, it’s expected to sell for a high pre-sale estimate of $620,000.
