I ship a lot of things too, or at least I'm open to different options, but there are relatively few ships I actually take seriously. Well, seriously-ish. XD But this is one of them.
Haha, I think that's why most shipping arguments are born; people get attached to a character, and then they get really particular over who that character can be shipped with. I try not to be like that too much, but Gokudera absolutely is one of those characters for me. No point in denying it. XD And yes, they are.
I enjoyed reading this like the rest of your posts, because you don't exaggerate. You just state facts, and I like that. :D
"to ever successfully shounen-Jesus Gokudera."
AHAHAHA, ILU, BB. ♥♥♥
And you excessive hate of Byakuran will forever be hilarious to me. :D
Also: I'm the kind of person who can read literally anything if done well (but I usually only look for certain pairings, any other and I'll need a rec) but I do prefer healthy relationships (with the exception of Agon/Hiruma from ES21 because it's just that funny, and my weird obsession with Byakuran->Gokudera). I mean, troubled unhealthy ones are fun once in a while, but reading too much of it is depressing. xD
Granted, they're the facts from my very biased perspective, but I do try not to go overboard. XD Thanks. ♥
IT'S TRUE. And like I'd ever miss an opportunity to hate on Marshmallow McFairywings.
See, for me, it really depends on the character. In a lot of my other fandoms, I actually do ship relationships that aren't necessarily the healthiest around. But Gokudera in particular is a character I'm too attached to to like the thought of him being paired up with someone he doesn't get along with. He's had enough misery already, you know? XD BOY DESERVES SOMEONE WHO'LL TREAT HIM RIGHT.
What I meant is, you don't exactly go "And here in this panel, they are standing next to each other. SURELY THIS MEANS SOMETHING, Y/Y?!" xD
BAHAHA. ILU. ♥♥ Makes me wanna find and scan that one picture I never finished that was inspired by your Byakuran fic (the one where the lady got hit by the car but she didn't in another world and I think I remember a duck, but that duck might not have been there). xD
Oh, very true. WHY KICK SOMEONE WHO'S DOWN, Y/Y? But still, I can read relationships "that aren't necessarily the healthiest around" a lot without trouble, it's the soul crushingly unhealthy ones that one reads rarely. (Like Byakuran->Gokudera. XD)
Oh yes, the "THEY'RE IN THE SAME PANEL! CLEARLY THE MANGAKA SHIPS THEM" thing. I know what you're talking about now. OH FANDOM.
I... don't think there was a duck? Unless that came up in another Byakuran-related conversation, but I don't recall. I kind of want there to a be a duck now, though. XD THE ONE THING THAT WOULD MAKE THAT SCENE EVEN CRAZIER.
Yeah, like if they argue a lot that's one thing, but if one of the characters is actively playing mind games and/or torturing the other character, that's... a little different. XD I do remember reading a Byakuran/Gokudera-ish fic once that basically was all about the mind games and torture, and it was great in a dark!fic sense, but I sure as hell couldn't ever ship it.
Haven't read everything yet and YES, I am NOT a fan of 8059! But you know what? I'm sure you will convince me with your essay. I love that you not only list the pros but also the cons & every character that Gokudera is shippable with but that you also say why the cons don't matter so much and why those characters are not his best match. /was fan of 5927
Thanks for the effort you've put into writing! And now I'm going read the whole thing.
Good luck with your studying! And glad you liked the essay, heh. ♥
YAMA/WALL IS MY REAL OTP, WITHOUT A DOUBT. The one you read might actually have been mine, lol. XD Unless there is more Yama/Wall fic out there, in which case I MUST FIND IT... :O
HAHA YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY CATCH UP, IT'S PRETTY EPIC. If a bit long-winded, but the Future arc probably loses a lot of its dragged-out feeling when you read it all in one go instead of waiting for chapters week-by-week, so.
Anyway, glad you liked the essay. I love these two crazy kids, lol.

Mine is just a stupid humor fic, lol. But I totally have to go and look for that other one now.
