We know most of you have been looking forward to this post, so without further ado, here's your chance to share what you love about the rare ships you've nominated and will either request and/or offer! Some of the rare ships in the tagset belong to rare canons. If you're someone who loves trying new canons or is currently on the hunt to become obsessive about something else, this is a great post for you!

A few things to consider:

Please try to keep your thirst to one comment.

Please try to limit the number of gifs and videos you post, if you choose to provide some supportive material. (We recommend any more than one gif/video that you can link for anyone with a slower Internet connection.)

Please link and mark anything that is NSFW, especially if you're posting gifs/videos. (We'd also appreciate trigger warnings for the big triggers. If you think it needs a trigger warning, please add it.)

Please remember that this post may contain triggering topics due to canon content that may or may not be warned for, so please view the content at your own discretion.

You can also use this post to ask for canon recs. We recommend advising what you're looking for (a particular medium or a canon that's so many hours long?)—and it wouldn't hurt to mention what kind of ship dynamics/tropes you're into since that's why we're here!

We won't be moderating this page as closely, but we will screen/freeze threads as needed. If you need to get in contact with us, please reply to this comment.

Thanks to yuletide for the inspiration for the form.

Canon: card game anime.................................

Ships: Saviorshipping | Ryoken/Spectre/Yusaku

Media: Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains

A summary of the canon: Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains is the fifth spin off of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, it follows the protagonist Fujiki Yusaku, a boy whose past was stolen from him due to a mysterious incident known as the Hanoi Project, a project which involved five other children aside from him. He endeavours to take revenge on those who had kidnapped and experimented on him, the results of which was an artificial intelligence with free will known as the Ignis, his being the Dark Ignis he later names Ai.

What do you love about this ship/these ships?: Yusaku and Spectre are narrative foils with seemingly nothing in common save for experiencing the same traumatic event: the Lost Incident/Hanoi Project. They came away with totally different recollections and reactions to it, Yusaku hated it, Spectre loved it, Yusaku wants to protect the Ignis, Spectre wants to kill them. The only thing they really, truly have in common is Ryoken, the son of the man who conducted the lost incident. Yusaku wants to save/reconnect with Ryoken and Spectre has undying loytalty unto him as his second-in-command of the Knights of Hanoi, the organisation that Yusaku is trying to take down but later allies with when new threats arise.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I have no idea, I'm horrible at setting prompts. I would kill for anything tbh, just as long as its equal on all sides, Yusaku has TWO supervillain boyfriends, Ryoken has TWO yanderes pining for him, and Spectre has TWO weird sexual fixations on these two.

Content warnings: canon typical child abuse? Yusaku and Spectre were starved and electrocuted as children, Ryoken watched and had a generally neglectful father, etc
