continuing this monstrosity from yesterday (because apparently that was not enough to tire my brain out????)
shif's 2023 2024 Zexal shipping flowchart 馃憦
YAY 馃帀馃コ馃帀馃featuring several old time favorites and a few others I never really talk about but ship from a distance. I didn't feel like adding many more that I do ship (like Ena, Kazuma, Cathy, Gilag, etc), just keep in mind this is a drop in the ocean of ships
without further delay, let's delve in.........!
these are several headcanons/universes that are crammed together and they don't necessarily overlap, although some do
[OTP a] would be my current "main" pairings
although I consider Gauche/Droite and Tetsuo/Rio minor ships, all the others are consistent with my "canon" and have stayed as such for a while. Together with Alito/Kotori, those are the rare "het" ships I ship lmao
the addition of Ryoga/Astral as a major ship was VERY surprising to me. I believe I started shipping them in the middle of 2022, although I probably did flirt with the concept before. This is my current favorite and it's been going strong for over a year now, yay
Don Thousand/Eliphas is my comfort-old-men-in-love DILF ship and I'll love them until I die
[OTP b] would be either past main or/and alternative pairings
ships that I will always ship no matter what, namely keyshipping (Astral/Yuma) and hellshark (IV/Ryoga). These ships are just too damn good, they deserve a spotlight of their own
generally, they exists in the same "canon" together with the other [OTP a] ships but not Yuma's and Ryoga's (so, not together with III or Astral)
[OTP c] are various other pairings
ones that are in the back of my mind, maybe not for Alito/Yuma and Astral/Kotori. The latter is especially nice, so it's always a delight when I get back into it
Alito and Yuma make a fun pair, where V and Kaito makes a somewhat-boring-pair-but-still-a-solid-ship-I-guess, and Vector/Rio is great for all the wrong reason *wink, wink*
[OTP d] is sharkbaitshipping aka Ryoga/Yuma
put separately for the sake of coherence with my "canons" since both Ryoga and Yuma have several main pairs each. There are universes in my mind where they are together, more often than not
[Unrequited] is a REALLY fun one
they're consistent across "canons" with Ryoga being a particular case where he does end up paired with someone
as for Droite towards Kaito, that's actually canon and I really enjoy that so I bring that with me
[No. 96] is a standalone because his ships are somewhat.. complicated
for the ones with Astral or Yuma, there's some relationship to sadism; and for Don Thousand and Vector, manipulation and power play. It's really related to kink after all
[Vector] is... Vector, am I right?
most of these would fall into the crackship or PWP category for me. The guy has fuck buddies, he has slept with all the Barian emperors (even ALL AT ONCE). He exclusively tops but can be sub/dom/switch depending on the situation
I consider not adding him but I think this looks much funnier with him on it, right in the middle, having more connections than anyone else hahaha
[OT3] are polyamorous ships aka "solving all these love triangles"
interesting enough, that's the only way I can ship Kotori and Yuma (with Alito dating them both)
shoutouts to Don/Ena/Eliphas another All Time Favorite of mine
-
there's more to explore! I wonder how much this will change in a year or so. How many pairings will shift and how many universes will be created for them
only time will tell aha!
I'd love to see other people's flowcharts too. If you ever decide making one, show me!!!!
