favorite ship dynamics (anime edition)

(not an artist and don’t know how to draw, but still wanted to give this a try, tried to cram almost all of my ships here)

BODYGUARD CRUSH SET-UP, with copious amounts of devoted to you, using duty as a front, but really out of love, one feels responsible for the well-being of another, emotional and physical co-dependency, either the person doing the bodyguarding or being bodyguarded can be oblivious, or both are oblivious but have crushes on each other, layered with angst due to differences in position

Hak x Yona (Akatsuki no Yona)

Chidori x Sousuke (Fullmetal Panic)

Lan Fan x Ling (Full Metal Alchemist)

Hei x Yin (Darker than Black)

(SERVILE) SNARKER AND WIDE-EYED IDEALIST, a bit like the bodyguard set-up, but something ties the two people together, wherein the one who typically ‘serves’ does it full of snark, but they would literally die for the person they’re bound to, angst as a result of not knowing if the feelings are due to the bond or their own, of course the devotion is all theirs, one party is usually more innocent or believes in the best of people while the other is a cynic or more experienced and world-weary, they learn from each other due to their differing perspectives

Tomoe x Nanami (Kamisama Hajimemashita)

Soul x Maka (Soul Eater)

Akiyama and Nao (Liar Game)

WORTHY RIVALS, hate-love relationship, super competitive with each other, the only one allowed to defeat you, equal gender dynamic, tied together with their rivalry, claims to hate each other, but in truth heavily relies and trusts each other, so they fight with each other, but they also fight with each other 

Souma and Erina (Shokugeki no Soma)

Okita and Kagura (Gintama)

Maou and Emi (The Devil is a Part-Timer) 

May and Drew/ContestShipping (Pokemon)

Sunako x Kyouhei (Wallflower/Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge)

BICKERS LIKE A MARRIED COUPLE, also has shades of hate/love, pretends not to care but gets jealous easily, tsundere and tsundere combination, belligerent sexual tension, she’s not my girlfriend/boyfriend! shenanigans 

 Ed x Winry (Full Metal Alchemist)

Ranma x Akane (Ranma ½)

Ash and Misty/Pokemonshipping (Pokemon)

Okabe x Kurisu (Steins;Gate)

Bossun x Himeko (Sket Dance)

OPPOSITES ATTRACT delinquent and honor student, uptight loves wild, top of the class with the class clown/flirt/wild child/troublemaker etc., alternatively someone aggressive with someone who’s a pacifist, at first they can’t stand each other because of their opposing traits but that’s what they come to love most in the other, yin-and-yang

Yusuke x Keiko (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Kaneki x Touka (Tokyo Ghoul)

Zoro and Tashigi (One Piece)

Gold and Crystal/MangaquestShipping (Pokemon Special)

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, my favorite dynamic, gentle girl and brooding boy, energetic girl with the cool boy, warm and cold, usually person A is popular but only has eyes for person B but person B either only sees them as a friend or is in love with someone else, so much angst, person A will do anything to make person B happy and protect their smiles, overprotective, pining 

Hitsugaya x Hinamori (Bleach)

Zero x Yuuki (Vampire Knight)

Taichi and Chihaya (Chihayafuru)

Kei x Hikari (Special A)

Yanagi x Kujou (Last Game)

ACTUAL MARRIED COUPLE, not married but really they’re married, domestic fluff, so much shared history, they know each other inside and out, shades of the childhood friends dynamic but having reached its final form, inside jokes, everyone knows, usually the mom and dad of a group, the mature ones, on the angst side, shared trauma, emotional healing, but hella mutually emotionally supportive, they prop each other up, the best team

Shinichi x Ran (Detective Conan)

Roy x Riza (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Franky and Robin (One Piece)

Jessie and James (Pokemon)

Black and White/AgencyShipping (Pokemon Special)

Todoroki and YaoMomo (BNHA)

STEPFORD SMILER AND STRAIGHTFORWARD TSUNDERE, the guy is handsome and seductive, but plain weird, he’s messed up and emotionally constipated, hides his real thoughts, eccentric and flighty, shows his love through weird ways, falls in love with someone fierce and straightforward, guy has self-loathing issues and thinks he doesn’t deserve the girl, girl would knock them silly for their weird displays at the same time for beating themselves up, they believe in each other’s worth and are instrumental to each other’s self confidence, they reaffirm each other, girl usually gets red and flustered, but guy finds that charming about them, usually angel/devil ship

Amu x Ikuto (Shugo Chara)

Usui x Misaki (Kaichou wa Maid-Sama)

Gin x Rangiku (Bleach)

Ren x Kyoko (Skip Beat)

Ruby x Sapphire/FranticShipping (Pokemon Special)

EVERYONE CAN SEE IT, adorable children, the pure and innocent ships, mutual crushes, both are soft charas, they get so shy around each other, how can they not realize their crush has a crush on them??, puppy love, pure and fluffy, nope no angst here, one or both are shy characters

Hijikata x Mitsuba (Gintama) (I lied about the no angst)

Chitanda x Oreki (Hyouka)

Akihisa x Mizuki (Baka to Test)

Izuku and Ochaco (BNHA)

Recca x Yanagi (Flame of Recca)

FIRST LOVE, love at first sight, usually dynamics where the girl is the one to fall in love first, love at first sight is cultivated as she gradually gets to know the person and comes to truly love the person for who he is, potential for heartbreak, but there is strength in love, girl remains faithful, guy is usually the cool type character or perhaps callous, and you feel for the girl as she gets her heart broken, and you don’t know how it happens and even the guy doesn’t know how it happens, he wasn’t thinking about love at all but somehow he comes to consider the girl an irreplaceable part of his life now, and the payoff is so so so sweet

Sasuke x Sakura (Naruto)

Gintoki and Tsukuyo (Gintama)

Mikasa and Eren & Petra and Levi (Shingeki no Kyojin)

Kaede x Setsu (Mirmo de Pon)

Yellow and Red/SpecialShipping (Pokemon Special)

DORK IN LOVE WITH A TOUCH OF ABHORRENT ADMIRER, somewhat the reverse of the above, it’s the guy who’s more emotionally open, while the girl’s a bit closed off, guy is an actually puppy and a dumbass dork who wouldn’t hesitate about shouting his love for the girl from the rooftops, but he has his cool and badass moments, he fawns and spoils and can’t shut up about how great the girl is, while the girl is embarrassed or flustered or ticked off or all three, but the girl appreciates and shows her affection for the boy in subtle ways with an exasperated albeit fond ‘well, what can you do’ smile, she’ll still whack him when he gets too silly though

Yato x Hyiyori (Noragami)

Sanji and Nami (One Piece)

Tamaki x Haruhi (Ouran High School Host Club)

Kondo and Otae (Gintama)

Ryoshi x Ryoko (Ookami-san and her Seven Companions)

Disappointed but not surprised

- a chapter 23 analysis of Nalu in FT 100 year Quest

This is my hot take on the events that just unfolded in the new chapter of FT100yearquest and how what happened with Nalu’s action (mainly Natsu’s) wasn’t all that surprising or something to be that mad over

OK. I’m gonna just put this straight out there. Natsu is NOT an emotionally mature person when expressing himself about things that hurt. He doesn’t talk about his feelings and tries very hard not to openly express them. Basically, he can’t deal when it comes to word of mouth. We know this. It’s seen really early on when he fights Gildarts

He had to learn to accept his fear - a weakness. Natsu would always put on a brave front. He was a reckless fighter who charged in with no second thought. He never acknowledged his fear, but once he did he became stronger. It was allowed to be felt, even shown, and he used it to think about his opponent and be weary of shit. Now, this isn’t the same emotional vulnerability that’s in the case of Lucy, however, I thought it was worth mentioning cause it shows he pushes shit like this away. His (adoptive dragon) father dies?

better leave on a year long journey so I don’t have to be vulnerable/grieve around my guild that I consider my family! His best friend gets upset at him for leaving her behind. She confronts him?

Image

He makes this face^ He’s so uncomfortable with Lucy voicing how she feels that he looks almost pained or fucking constipated but up to you. He has no idea how to act, or what to say. Just like every other damn time. and you know what this scene looks exactly like??

Lucy is at a point where she’s trying to convey herself to Natsu, which is gonna be crucial if they’re ever to get together, and Natsu isn’t for it. He’s a physical person, he can’t handle this type of pressure from verbal communication about how he hurt her. A forehead touch? Easy. Actually having a conversation? Hard as fuck. This is seen in a lot of people. If you’ve ever been in a situation where you’ve hurt someone or you’ve been hurt then you probably know what it’s like to choke. Your throat feels tight and you just wanna escape, which Natsu does.

Through crude humour. This is the most relatable shit ever and I can’t believe people are mad! You think they’re gonna sit together and talk everything through, cry and then confess? No, this is not Nalu. Natsu’s gonna keep this inside of himself because he isn’t ready. I mean, there’s progress - not looking constipated is one - and he’ll definitely (hopefully) get better at this as he grows up. But this is gonna take time. You can’t expect anything else from them at this point. They’re not your angsty couple and if you want that look for it in another ship like jerza cause you aren’t gonna find it in Nalu. We love them cause they’re god damn dorks, I mean really digging up a whole damn tree for his girl

This is why I’m disappointed, but not surprised with this (They coulda changed up scenes and gone with forehead touch maybe?? Probs not). It hits the nail on the head. And this isn’t going to make me hate Nalu. On contrary I’m damn excited for what’s to come. Will Natsu hesitate next time in a battle? Will his friends trust him? Will he lose control again? Honestly, shit similar to this is gonna come cause this will be his next growth. Making sure he can’t lose himself to power. 

Oh, and I also know people are mad about that fan service, but I mean??? It’s a trope in Japan. We sit here like wtf but theres nothing we can do about differences in culture. All that stuff I’ll forever ignore, or acknowledge as anything but a gag. It doesn’t relate to anything. So I’m happy with how things are
