Why is shipping Dungeon Meshi characters so hard. Like why is 99% of the cast people who would take their crush to their grave instead of admitting their interest to themselves or to others ever
#dungeon meshi#shipping thoughts#laios touden#chilchuck tims#kabru#mithrun#marcille too tbh#me over here shipping laios with everyone and marcille with everyone and the sheer amount of ppl just refusing to be romanced is astounding#STOP SCREAMING. ACCEPT THE LOVE.#Izutsumi

MY HOT TAKE IS THAT ROMANCE SHOULD ONLY BE BETWEEN LOSERS!! THERE HAS TO BE AT LEAST ONE LOSER IN A ROMANCE FOR IT TO BE TRUE LOVE!!

There are certain one-way ships I think are so canon that I sorta don't think to tag them, because I forget that it's possible to read them another way. Jet being in love with Sonic, for example. Knuckles being in the process of getting over being in love with Sonic being another.
Actually just everyone having at some point had a crush on Sonic. It's not that they had a crush on Sonic that defines them, it's how - most of the cast, of course, immediately try to destroy him. This is why Sonic Rivals exists. Sonic of course doesn't know.
The reverse is true for Sonic Boom Sonic. He has presumed that every single character has a crush on him. He is almost wholly wrong.

Sooo I came [back] to the SPN fandom after many many years of being completely out and [thanks to my dearest] this time I'm going to fully dedicate myself to wincest.
Naturally, I'm a multishipper. I don't care much how many other pairings with my fav chars exist / usually I ship more than one thing per fandom or per character.
But them. Oh, them.
The Winchesters. Sam and Dean. Dean and Sam. I hear how their names merge in my head into something entwisted so much it'll never get unraveled again.
They. Have. Everything.
In my usual little doll plays with the characters I prefer to go rather dark. Rather sick. Sometimes, rather dirty. Not for the sake of general evilness, naturally and inevitably inherent to being an artist, but for the sake of feelings.
The contrast is better where it's darker. The light is brighter. The love is sweeter when there's pain, the hope is luminous when there's despair. The contrast enhances the emotional impact.
But Dean and Sam? Sam and Dean?
They already have it. They have everything and anything. The pitch black and the beam light. It's been made canon, probably, years ago.
Then I thought: what had ever made my brain go full-time crazy mod? What had ever squeezed my heart so tight I couldn't breathe?
Here are some of the best [imo] moment of my other fandom's biggest OTPs. Some ships are canon, some are not. But all of the moments DID canonically happens. [I'm using X & Y so it's more descriptive]
X & Y are constantly being forced to fight each other despite their genuine connection. the forcing power massively prevails their own. that's how their relationship starts... and how it ends, with X finally forced to kill Y. then X has to restart the whole world so they could be together again.
X & Y met when both were mentally down and then spent a horrible amount of time being tortured in the cruelest way alongside each other. later, they could let go of their twisted connection. but they don't.
X silently begs Y to kill him after committing the Literally Worst Crimes Possible for which he'll never forgive himself. Y complies. Y never stops thinking about X.
X spends his whole life protecting Y with growing understanding that Y will never accept his nature.
X sacrifices himself sexually, mentally and physically at once to the person he despises the most - simply in order for Y to get away from that monster.
X (who's kind of been a psycho murderer) went through a terrible experience where half his personality got destroyed. Y takes care of him despite the previous attempt of X to kill Y in cold blood. They end up fixing it (in a way).
X is obsessed with Y to a weird, absolutely not redeemable level. Body dismemberment included.
X is successfuly fighting the massive-level brainwashing so he doesn't hurt Y, although everyone they both knew and loved die around them.
X goes so mental after Y dies that he is committing a terrorist attack suicide so the world could feel their pain.
X goes full on self-sacrifice during a rescue attempt for Y [okay that's way more than one thing but it gets me every time!]
X says "Hey Y, we die together or no way at all". and so they do.
X never recovers after betraying Y and later goes through big torture time with the thought it was deserved for that betrayal.
X & Y [& a kid] slash through an endless amount of enemies so they could be a family together
X & Y are destined to be together but they go "fuck destiny"... and stay together for who they are.
X & Y fight together against a clearly overpowered villain. and win.
X & Y seem to desperately want to finish each other off but never act upon it when there's an opportunity. they're so different that they're the same.
X dies in a stupid accident. Y tries to save his life, and, when it's not possible anymore, dies alongside, refusing to live in a world without him.
X dies and Y can't let go of the corpse. Even when the rotting visibly starts.
X has memory issues but he's done some terrible things (child murder, massacre). There is solid proof. Y does not believe that for a second, because Y knows X to the core.
None, I mean it, none of these is wincest.
But, looking back... How many of them fit to be? How many of them could fit with the right situation? How many of literally (imo) most heart-moving tropes seem to be made for this pairing of brothers whose love trascends any normal limits?
So, yeah... I'm really gonna dedicate myself to wincest these days.

I think the main reason I'm so feral about steddie is because Steve had me in shipper desperation for three seasons. Like, the man is handsome, sweet, funny and searching for love in all the wrong places, overall perfect shipping material, and somehow through three whole seasons the only people that were near his age were his ex, his ex's boyfriend, a total douchebag and a lesbian. I'm not hating on anyone that ships him with any of them (except Robin, c'mon) but for me nothing felt entirely right, like Steve wouldn't be their first option or treat him as he deserved. So yeah, when Eddie appeared exhuding everything good in this world that frustrated shipper energy just exploded. I am positive they could have not said a word to eachother the whole season and I would still be sitting here loosing my goddamn mind about how cute of a couple they would have been.

thoughts on verlaine x adam?
Ooooh, this is my first time getting a shipping ask! Very cool. As you may or may not know, I have had asks open on the topic of shipping thoughts and character headcanons for some time, so I am very happy to have actually received one!
Let’s get started!
Ship: Paul Verlaine (BSD) x Adam Frankenstein (BSD)
Fanon ship name: Unknown
Have I ever heard of this ship before this ask?: No, this is my first time hearing of it.
Do I ship this ship?: No, not personally; I have other Verlaine ships I’m more interested in, and I’m mostly a one ship per character type of person (barring any potential past relationships).
My personal rating of this ship: 8/10
More in-depth thoughts:
Even though it’s not really for me personally, I think this ship definitely has a lot more potential than some of the other ships I’ve seen in the fandom, dynamic wise, and I can definitely see why someone would be interested in shipping it:
With Verlaine and Adam both canonically being artificially created beings, there is definitely a common ground they share that I feel could fairly easily bring them together in one way or another in some manner of AU.
Since they both have such different philosophies on what it means to “not be human”, I could easily see one or the other being fascinated by those unique outlooks; Adam is totally fine with what he is and doesn’t mind performing his created duty of protecting humans and bettering the world, even if he has dreams of his own, whereas Paul is completely discontent with what he is, feels he shouldn’t have been born, and wants revenge against humanity for forcing him to exist.
In time, it could be possible for one to convince the other of his own philosophy; Verlaine could convince Adam to despise humanity for creating him only to be used and potentially discarded if needed for their own selfish gain, and we could have a villain Adam Frankenstein AU, or Verlaine could be persuaded to find peace and a purpose in his being and perhaps help Adam create his dream of a non-human detective agency, creating a good detective Paul AU of some manner. There’s definitely room, whatever the case, for someone to play with this dynamic in a cool and interesting way, so yeah! It may not be my specific thing, but I can see it! I hope you have fun with it if it’s your ship, and there aren’t a lot of Adam ships in the world to begin with, so the more the merrier. 💖

Not my ship but I’m curious what other people think of it
Ghiralink
or, even better
Demighiralink
Ok so from the perspective of someone who’s not actually very interested in shipping:
I can definitely see Ghiralink working, and I’ve read some good fics that use it! All you have to do is change up a few events in canon and give Ghirahim a sympathetic enough backstory (or make Link a little evil but no one seems to go that route for some reason) and it can happen! They’ve got some funky parallels stuff going on (Link trying to find Zelda vs Ghirahim trying to free Demise) so that plays a part as well.
Demighiralink however is something I can’t see working unless it’s at least a little bit fucked up. The problem is Ghirahim I think. You can’t have a Ghirahim/Link that’s relatively healthy while also having the same for Ghirahim/Demise and vice versa. You just can’t make it work without being somewhat fucked up unless you drastically alter the personality of one of the characters involved.
Link/Demise however could definitely work under the right circumstances, you’ve got that warrior respect element to it that you can work with as the basis.

Thoughts on Wally x Barnaby?
I think it’s just so freaking cute and sweet and it has so much potential and has so many possibilities from they’re rather caring and loving friendship from the art on the website and clowns tumblr page to the fact that they’re dynamic may flip on its head once they could potentially become self aware I can only imagine how barnaby will react to being self aware I think he’ll be very anxious and possibly even upset and I would like to imagine that he may become very protective of Wally I just hope that they are best partners to the bitter end

Serious shipping question. ¿Is it wrong to not like a ship because you despise one of the characters inside of it?
No, it's not wrong at all.
There are a lot of ships that I don't like because I don't happen to like the character(s) being shipped with the character(s) I do like. It's okay to not like a ship because you don't like a certain character in that ship. For example, I don't ship Sam and Danny because I don't like Sam as a character. But I'm not going to bash AmethystOcean because it's still valid and shipped by many and I respect that.
I don't believe in ship bashing or ship shaming though. Ship bashing/shaming is just rude, mean, and a waste of time and energy because whether you ship it or not, the ship is still important and means something to person shipping it. Everyone has different shipping tastes and I respect that. Ship and Let Ship~
May I ask who is the character you don't like? I'm just genuinely curious. But if you don't want to tell me that's okay. 👍

I feel like such a traitor when I see the Dalinar/his elites fics/posts because I will read it and I want to be supportive of it, but it just doesn’t hit me the way sadalinar does. Like I don’t think sadalinar were monogamous (not just that they had wives, I think they prob fucked other men too), so it’s not that I disagree that Dalinar could have fucked his elites; it just doesn’t do much for me. I want to support it because I want to support bi dalinar readings, but idk
(tbc this is just my personal feelings, not a judgement call, I’m happy for the people that these ships do do something for)

I think there’s potential chemistry between Dan and Fright Knight.
Remember this post?
We don’t know much about how they know each other or how they met. The most we get in TUE is Fright referring to Dan as “master”. In spite of the little info we get, I can reference to Fright giving his services to the most powerful ghost in the Ghost Zone. Previously it was Pariah Dark, but in the alternate timeline it’s Dan since Pariah at that point is still sealed in the Sarcophagus.
So that leaves how did they meet? And why does Fright Knight specifically only work with ghosts who have the most power?
They probably didn’t meet right away. Fright would’ve been sealed away in the crumbling ruins of Pariah’s Keep.
Considering just how powerful Dan is, chances are Fright probably sensed that power even from such a considerable distance. Even if not physically present, he still probably felt that immense power reverberating through the Zone.
Immense, overwhelming, hungry. It seeps deep into Fright, an addicting, acidic taste. He relished in it.
More under the cut because I spent far longer than I should have writing this _(-ω-`_)
As curious as he may be, he doesn’t know who or what this power is. Unless his sword is removed and he’s freed from his prison, all Fright can do is sit and bide his time. He does however, have a continuous feed of the power surges.
Dan probably didn’t consider Fright Knight at first. Maybe nearly forgot that the ghostly knight was sealed away. He doesn’t need another obstacle in his way. Oh, it’d be fun for sure, but Dan does tire quickly of the same enemies over and over again.
The frequency of his attacks has slowed down. Dan’s becoming aimless and restless. Both humans and ghosts fear him. He can’t possibly gain any more than that.
Dan is bored.
Admittedly, he occasionally wonders about having someone just…not fight him for a change. Or at least not try to destroy him on a daily basis, Dan didn’t want himself going slack.
The thought does eat at him. Who’d want someone like him? Not likely very many, Dan would bet.
He tried to ignore it but he couldn’t help feel a small pang of…loneliness. Dan had grown pretty used to it. It still didn’t erase the fact that he felt it.
It wasn’t like he needed someone. Just…someone to be there.
Dan shook it off. He was going to drive himself insane going around in circles. He didn’t need anything, to be held back. Dan was very much capable on his own.
Since Dan was getting tired of the same faces showing up over and over again, even when he beat them and made sure they knew it. He goes out to seek out potential new opponents who could actually keep Dan on his toes.
There’s no one in specific. He wanders far and wide across the Ghost Zone. Ghosts of all kinds veer away from Dan, fearing retaliation if they came across him. Deeper and deeper in the never-ending depths. Ghostly doors and isles so lonely that they may as well be calling out.
Ancient, ruined rocky ruins of ghost lairs long past. Hardly interesting, but Dan does feel a pull. Something in his gut that says keep going. The haunting lull of an old isle he was aware of, though very few ghosts ever visited it. Not really a “call” per say, Dan just had that deep gut feeling that he’d find something waiting for him there.
Battle scarred and scorched rocks and ruins greet him. The remnants of a massive fortress sit atop a huge chunk of rock. Just barely large enough to hold it all up. An ominous sensation came over Dan as he approached it, he barely even blinks at it.
Dan gets excited, though he doesn’t understand why.
Past the blown apart gates and into the halls of Pariah’s Keep. It is undeniably empty, barely any amounts of ecto energy flowed through here. The creaks and groans of the old foundations spelled danger. Dan supposed he should be quick about it lest he gets interrupted by something inane.
The tall, foreboding walls loom over him as he approached the main room. Dan can feel the impressions of a time long past. An elaborate and ghostly throne room in disarray. Cracks, debris, craters and scorch marks told Dan all he needed to know.
Barely minding attention to the large sarcophagus that rested at the top of a winding stairway, an eerie purple aura lured Dan away. It was barely noticeable and a faint hum emitted from it. It seemed familiar, the way it reached out to him.
Far off to the side in the shadows. Innocuous and so close by yet out of sight, easily missed.
The purple aura unveiled itself in the form of an eerie Jack-o-Lantern. Its wide, demented expression stared right through Dan. A wariness came over him in the form of a tingle down his body, which Dan was admittedly impressed by.
Curiously, a large, sharp green sword is impaled through the fruit. Dan could barely stand looking at it. The blade seemed to sing out to him, whispered of secrets and fears untold. The metal rang dangerously in Dan’s ears.
Curious indeed as to why the blade was struck through the pumpkin.
What if Dan removed the sword?
After all the world had tried to throw at him, there couldn’t possibly be something any worse than that. Dan…wasn’t that young anymore, his very being was hardened and refined to a point it seemed inhuman.
Hands loosely held the hilt at first, then reflexively tighten. With very little effort, the sword is pulled free. A wave of ominous, overwhelming spectral energy surged out. Dan skidded back a bit, his boots dug into the ground. He retained balance and fought against the unnatural gust of wind.
As soon as it started up, it suddenly fettered out. Only a faint whoosh indicated it ever even happened. The sword felt heavy in his hands, his strength wavered ever so slightly. It seemed as though the blade didn’t want him holding it.
Too true when Dan sensed a presence behind him. He swiftly swung the sword and with a loud clang, he skidded back in the other direction. The sword vibrated in intensity in his hands.
Dan marvels at the sight before him.
True to the name, the dark and fiery visage of Fright Knight stood over Dan. If only because the sword was getting heavier the longer Dan held it. The two green voids that were Fright’s eyes glared down at him.
“The sword, give it to me.” Fright beckoned with a hand.
Dan shot a fanged grin at his newest, potential adversary.
“You want it so bad? Come and get it!”
They’d fight, play a game of cat and mouse. They barely noticed they were equal on the power scale. Hardly distracted by the commotion they stirred up around themselves, too focused on each other.
Even though Dan isn’t all that experienced with swords, he does notice that Fright Knight went out of his way to avoid touching the blade itself. Twisting, parrying, maneuvering. Yet so persistent on getting it back.
Dan gets an idea. He was known for many things, if it had to be just one, it was that he was mischievous. Not just mischievous, a specific, malignant brand of mischief.
I headcanon that ghosts have ecto energy ‘flares’, or a ghostly ‘aura’. It’s mostly passive, but flares out with strong emotions. To display dominance for example, to show that they’re strong and not to be messed with.
Dan most definitely uses this to his advantage. He is a domineering ghost, depending on the context.
He flares his powerful aura at one point, invisible and heavyset to anyone in the closest vicinity to it. Loose objects clattered around him, a breeze blew through Dan’s cape. His eyes became a deeper, glowing red.
Fright Knight felt it. He stalled, amazed at the burst of energy. Lively and addicting, perhaps inviting. He very clearly underestimated this ghost, he had not relished in such an energy surge since Pariah Dark’s brief reawakening long ago.
Unfortunately, Fright stalled long enough for his opponent to get the upper hand on him. Fright is momentarily startled by a blade that impaled itself into the wall, right next to his head. He craned his head to meet the deep, eerie red eyes of his adversary.
“You felt that, didn’t you?” Dan asked him with a smug grin.
Fright remained silent, deep in thought.
Now that the situation was quiet for the moment, Dan decided to study the ghostly knight. He was still undecided whether to continue treating him as a foe, or branch out to him as a potential ally. Though unrelated, Dan did see that Fright Knight was a similar physique to him. The knight’s mysterious features hidden within a helmet. Dan was intrigued, and he wanted to know more.
“Not bad at all,” Dan said, gesturing at Fright. “Looks like you were holding back though.”
He slowly pulled the sword away, the wall crumbled with age and damage. Scarred and never forgetful.
“What would happen if I were to drive the sword through you?” Dan’s grin upturns into a malicious smile. “Want to test it out?”
Rather than verbally respond, Fright gestures one hand.
The sword violently shook in Dan’s grip. It glowed faintly before it ripped itself out of his hand and back to its rightful place. At Fright Knight’s side.
Dan didn’t react. Instead, he was more interested than he was before. Oh, he was a bit irked that he lost the sword so easily. But it could be forgiven, if Fright gave him a good enough reason.
“We needn’t joust,” Fright stated neutrally, his eyes warily fixated on the Phantom before him. “You’re powerful.”
“Oh, liked that little display, huh?” Dan cocked his head playfully. He wondered if there could be more gained out of this. “You’d better believe it, I make sure those who get in my way never forget it.”
“I only serve those who have shown their power and might.” Fright continued, pretending he didn’t notice the playful advances. “I strike fear into those who dare stand in my way.”
Fright paused.
“You too were holding back.”
“…I suppose I was.” Dan rolled his eyes.
“I propose a…partnership,” Fright Knight said slowly. “You have someone watch your back, make certain that your seat of power is not threatened.”
Dan leaned in closer, listening intently. “Go on…”
“And I rejuvenate myself with the energy you expel.” Fright Knight finished, he stood stiffly. His hand twitched on the hilt of his sword.
“Sounds like you want more than just a ‘partnership’.” Dan approached Fright, amusement shone in his eyes.
“I did not say that,” Fright said stoically.
They were face to face.
“Mm…we’ll see about that.” Dan stepped away, his gaze never left. “Though I think this will be quite entertaining.”
He held a hand out, a branch of sorts.
Fright stared for several seconds before he too reached out. His and Dan’s hands firmly clasped around each other’s forearms. Sealing a pact, so to speak.
“Your name. I do not know what to call you,” Fright stated, his grip tightened.
Dan was quiet for a moment before he bared his fangs, his ghostly aura flared ever so gently. “Phantom.”
I’ll probably write a more coherent version of their meeting later. But, the big question at hand. Why does Fright Knight only work with powerful ghosts? My guess is because of what type of ghost he is.
You notice that he has very minimal features? His body seems to be a pure black, the most he wears is his armor, the rest uncovered. Probably because he doesn’t need to cover up fully. Another ghost I can think of that does something similar is Spectra.
What if Fright Knight is the same type of ghost as Spectra? A “parasitic” type of spirit that leeches off the emotions, energy, or a mix of both, from others.
Spectra leeches off the depression and negative emotions of human children.
Fright Knight leeches off the fear he strikes into others, and perhaps the immense power of ghosts that are equal in strength, or far stronger than he is. To give him a boost when he needs it. Or would it be to maintain a solid form?
Fright and Dan’s “partnership” probably started off just like that, a business-like deal that benefits them both. Fright strikes fear wherever he goes, Dan made sure those who opposed them stayed down. That’s all it was really.
Dan didn’t find it very fun.
He was far too interested in knowing who and what Fright Knight was to just keep it business-like.
Fright was too stoic for Dan’s liking. While Dan had absolutely no qualms about entertaining both guys and ladies, it seemed like he had his work cut out for him. Fright was an interesting kind of guy, not too many like him around. Dan wanted Fright to stick around.
Dan knew there had to be more of Fright from under the hood. He’d bring it out, one way or another. Fortunately, wherever he went, Fright was usually close behind.
As for Fright Knight, he actually didn’t know what to think of Phantom at first. Powerful and volatile. Temperamental and yet eerily calm. It seemed as though as piece was missing. Whatever that was, it wasn’t Fright’s business. He was perfectly content as is. If only he could ignore Dan’s more playful persona. It wasn’t constant, but enough so that Fright did take notice.
Fright felt he should be annoyed by such behavior. For reasons indiscernible to him, he allowed it. In small doses. He supposed it was amusing, and so long as it didn’t interrupt their little deal.
It’s like a game of cat and mouse, though subtler. They both had thoughts about each other. Neither came forward, or said them out loud. It was more satisfying that way in trying to figure each other out.
What was more notable was that they respected each other’s power. They rarely depended on each other past watching the other’s back. It was oddly an inkling sense of trust, no matter how surface level and frail it was.
They’d have short conversations on occasion, when it was quiet. They didn’t say too much to each other, but they’d let bits and pieces of information slip out. Intentional or not was left up to interpretation.
Fright Knight, as Dan learned, was completely and utterly ruthless. Literally none could escape the terror that was the Soul Shredder. As for what happened to people and ghosts when the sword touched them, Dan could only imagine. A well-earned reputation as the feared ghost of Halloween.
And…Fright was strangely courtly. Of course, he would be, he’s the ghostly equivalent of a medieval knight. Cordial in a gruff manner. Fright was a warrior first and foremost.
It reminded Dan of himself a little, he was certain he had a chance. He just had to nudge it somehow. Fright clearly did notice how Dan would occasionally act playful, despite pretending not to. What if he pushed at Fright a little? Get him to react?
The reactions could be case by case. Dan was sure it would be worth it to see such a strong and stoic guy get his “feathers” ruffled. Dan could already imagine it; Fright Knight’s eyes were rather expressive.
Fright would most definitely be aware of Dan’s…affections? He refused to entertain the idea of flirting…courting with someone outside of his station. It wasn’t seemly for him. Admittedly, he was amused by it, but didn’t reciprocate them.
It did seem like Phantom was lonely. Fright understood that in a way. He was somewhat taken with Phantom’s advances, no matter how much or little attention he paid. Fright would remain at the forefront, no matter how much the thought of a powerful partner at his side niggled at the back of his mind.
He didn’t mind having Dan close by, that’s all there was to it. Surely…
