^ True that. Of course, going into a battle shounen manga just for the yuri is plain silly. But the yuri scent is obviously in the air: the care and deep concern of Ochaco for Toga is very real and established; and Toga "falls in love easily with everyone" in her own words, so that certainly includes Ochaco who she lets in so close to her heart to have this chat. So there is canon reciprocal feelings between the two, not good enough to build a romantic relationship (which needs more than just feelings for each other to form and function) may be, but that's still more than a significant chunks of all yuri ships around. People are not hallucinating seeing this ship.
Also, the serial shippers don't even care about canon, shipping is just fun.

(also, as supporters of LG**B**T, we understand that some people are bi and monogamous so they stick with people of one sex one at a time, so about half of the times they are with people of the other sex, right? Such detail might never get explicitly stated if it's not the focus of the series, but I find it to be way less of a headache about the whole 'bait this bait that' debate to just handwave it that they are bi and monogamous)

A wonderfully placed mole!

^Yeah I think regardless of if Ochako ends up with Deku, and she probably will, that this ship with Toga is still nice. It especially has a lot of ground to work with after the recent chapter. So I hope to see more art of these two in the future.

Incidentally I came across ch395 today (trending on bird app), and holy shit Toga is added to the list of victims of "they killed the gay" when she saved Ochaco's life. Damn.

Kiara distanced herself mainly because the Takamori ship was consuming her brand identity and thought she should take time to establish her character individually a bit more IIRC. It wasn't the massive deal people made of it, though some did take it a little far

^ I mean, it's still shounen manga. If the author wants to, Toga will live regardless of whatever the fuck she went through, and that cliffhanger wasn't entirely clear on whether or not she's truly dead

I never liked Toga personally
I still don't get why she's popular lol

But I also stopped following the manga because it had a lot of problems in my opinion.

this ship is actually my favorite overwatch ship, so I'm sad there isn't a lot on here

^That's okay, I'll simply enjoy the ship and this art enough for the both us and then some haha

Candela <3 <3 <3

i fuckin love this-

this ship is called perfumeshipping btw!! I've only ever seen one other fanart of them tho T-T

I prefer Serena with short hair :)

Holy fuck i just go flashbanged by f!robin x aversa fan art in the year 2023

I had a huge fic planned and partially written that included that ship which I worked on for years, massive expanded universe and everything, that I never ended up putting out there. But it was my gateway to fandom and fic writing and that experience was a really important one in my growth as a person. So crazy to see this ship come up years and years later.

Utena will always be a timeless classic ;v;

The Gloriana Valentine MkIII Special

Anyways extremely pedantic nitpick, but the tank should be much smaller. That's a massive valientine

^if you still ever decide to do that I will read it

I love shippers sometimes. These two literally had one interaction and everyone just went goo goo gaa gaa over it lol

Eh mostly the ones to blame are the localization team, they translated the "we dont want to have anything to do with Stellaron Hunters" in japanese to "we dont want to get in bed with stellaron hunters"

That line alone was the cause of all of this

Namori drew this? Rad!

^same, I don't read shonen, but I do like shipping, and this ship was discussed hotly enough amongst those who read the manga series that info about it made its way to me, so I digged a bit for it in canon, and there were good shipping materials :)) It helps that Toga is the kind of sick character that I find somewhat appealing sometimes.

this is my usagi otp <3 but I also really love minako/usagi. I just really like shipping girls with their doubles lol (ange/charlotte [princess principal], padme/sabe [star wars prequels], rosie/peony [spindle's end, robin mckinley]) so that's a given.

I mean, even with that, it's dumb. No one with enough braincells to rub together would take that as anything other than the meaning of the proverb.

Yes, pretty drawings good, but it doesn't mean people have to like the dumbass logic behind them.

there isn't enough nanamaya in this world!!!

^ yo I know it's been several years since 2018 but if anyone knows the name of that doujin please let me know

^ I assume they were referring to this one.
