Are you a fan of hate-ships?

I am indeed!

Like there’s tropes I am weak to and if I see them anywhere its almost immediate that I’m into them and its pretty much every time

Hate ships are not one of those things, so I’m not gonna like every single one that I see

They have to be done in ways that appeal to ME personally

Like my OTP of all OTP’s is Kaiba/Joey, which is considered a hate ship

The thing about my hate ships is that I always believe they don’t actually hate each other, cause that is a pretty strong word and I can’t fathom the thought of two characters (written in a specific way) hating each other for no reason, there’d have to be a STRONG basis behind it. So dislike is a better term meaning there’s a chance things can change if they work at it. My interest in hate ships mainly comes from me wanting them to NOT hate/dislike each other anymore

Let’s take two of them - Kaiba/Joey and Shizuo/Izaya

Kaiba/Joey first. It’s clear that when somebody unimportant is in Kaiba’s face/way/presence, he mainly just ignores them. He’ll forget their face in minutes, not worth his time

Let’s look at the people he MAINLY takes time out of his day to interact with. Yami/Yugi - the rival. Marik - God card. Ishizu - cause he had to duel her. Pegasus - kidnapped his brother. Mokuba - brother. People who work for him.

If there’s no reason for HIM to interact with them, he’ll just ignore. If they have a reason for wanting to interact with HIM, he’ll try to get away from them asap. Bad example since its season 4 and I don’t consider it canon but - Alister for example. Kaiba was mainly like, “I really don’t care about this. This interaction has no benefit to me. Go away.”

Heck, even Noah he never cared to interact with until Mokuba was kidnapped. That’s really the only time a “nobody” to Kaiba would get Kaiba’s attention.

Then what’s Joey to him?

An average dude, best friends to his rival.

And its like he almost goes out of his way to tease him.

Tease, annoy, piss off.

Why would Kaiba have any proper reason to hate Joey.

Joey just… annoys him. But he starts half the shit between them anyway. And Joey brings out a specific side to Kaiba that nobody else does.

It may have just been a dream, but let’s face it, that scene on the blimp in DSOD between them would have actually happened, and would have been the ONLY time in the movie that Kaiba smirked/grinned.

Joey’s reactions are too good for Kaiba to put him on the “ignore” list.

And they do acknowledge good things in each other.

Moving onto Shizuo/Izaya, its a little similar.

These two keep tryna kill each other. But its like, they enjoy the thrill of it.

Both busy guys yet almost go out of their way to chase/fight. Like that time Izaya was gonna leave town but decided to mess with Shizuo before he went despite the fact that he’s mostly thinking to himself, “Why does he keep getting in my way?” and Shizuo is mostly thinking, “Why is this bastard behind everything bad that happens?”

Unlike KaiJou tho, this is definitely a hate ship. But because they constantly have to remind everyone that they hate each other, its like “ya’ll are so damn intent on proving you hate each other, there’s probs something else going on here” lol

It’s like “passionate hate”. Constantly have to say you hate them over and over. It’s like, someone would say to EITHER of them, “Where’s Shizuo/Izaya?” and they’d both reply, “You mean the guy that I hate? That I hate with every corner of my being? That guy? He’s over there. Reminder tho that I hate them. A lot.”

Heck, even the writers ship it. They throw in non-violent Shizuo/Izaya innuendos now and then. Izaya called Shizuo cute, like. And not in an insulting way. He legit said he looked cute.

Granted I ship this way less than KaiJou, but when something is not just pure hatred and if one of them died the other would move on in seconds, then I cant help but ship it

I basically believe they’d feel something. That’s the appeal to me. That something

Its why I couldn’t get into Bakugou/Deku. He showed nothing but pleasure on his face whenever that innocent boy was in pain, and it creeped me out to think about shipping it

Even now, Bakugou and Deku may have hardly interacted this first half of season 2, exchanged a few lines so its nothing like season 1 where Bakugou was constantly out to get him, but… there’s nothing… there

Season 1 - hate

Season 2 - mostly ignores

No progress

So yeah, you probs sent this ask bc of the Yowapeda post and the fact that I ship Imaizumi/Naruko which did start off as a hate ship and changed. THAT’S the dream of mine with my hate ships.

They don’t even gotta be boyfriends, man. I just want them to get aloooong and booooond
