My OTP is Heishin. But I like Kaishin, and ShihoShin, Hell, I even find SonokoShin appealing!

I’d love to see them work out (I love Ran with all my heart), but… Shinichi’s treated her like shit for almost 1000 chapters. I know he means well, but Ran’s been crying over him for nearly 20 years and he still hasn’t told her the truth.

Also, one of the biggest problems for me is that I can’t find any chemistry in their relationship? Ran is… a sweet, caring girl, who lives her teenagehood as it should be, being divided between her interests and her crush/love. But Shinichi is not like that. He has a complex personality constantly swinging between childish and mature, he lives for his passion, and he’s fighting against something way too big for him. These things requires someone who’s on his same level. Who can understand him, and support him. Ran is shown to be annoyed by his detective attitude since the very first episode. But someone like Heiji, or Shiho, can fully understand how much this means to him and appreciate that side of him. Not to mention they are the ones being on his side in the fight against the MIBs, which will always be a huge part of his life. The biggest, probably. Yeah, once it’s all over, she can tell everything to Ran, but it will always be a sum up of the events, while Heiji and Shiho were there with him, / fighting / his same battle.

This is basically why I can see ShihoShin and HeiShin as more suitable, realistic and healthy ships than ShinRan, even if I love the girl.

I also think that Shinichi is mostly in love with the idea his parents sold him about the childhood love-interest and yadda yadda, and Ran is attractive and nice and he likes her well enough to project this dream on her.

Okay, so, everyone who knows me - and everyone who don’t - already knows I hate ShinRan as a ship. Like… I hate it a lot. This leaded me to hate Ran too with the years.

BUT

Recently I had the chance to think about Ran as character, and I came to a conclusion I want to share with you :

In my opinion, Ran doesn’t stand that much as a character in DC because she’s too / Realistic /. Here’s what I mean : Pretty much every character ( I’m going to repeat this word a lot, sorry ) in DC has to face incredible, irrealistic problems : take Conan himself, who’s fighting a wirld-wide criminal organization while being shrunken in a child’s body. Ai, which has basically the same problem while having taken part IN the organization’s plans in first place. Take Amuro, Akai, take Vermouth or any of the 1-episode-extras with their complicated crimes and tragedies. Even Heiji , who’s love- I mean, best friend, got him involved in a fight bigger than himself. Kaito has a mission to complete, he has lost his father. Everyone is living , with more or less realistic behaviors, a SURREAL struggle, that rarely ( or never ) happens in real life. It’s all very scenic and manga-ish.

But Ran? Ran is dealing with problems we all have had at least once in our lifetime. Having to WAIT for the person you love. Having them suddendly disappear from your life for apparently no reason, only getting a couple of phone calls from time to time. Just like when a friend starts becoming distant and you suffer from it. Who hasn’t been there once? She suffers because her parents are divorced, something lots of people can relate to. She suffers because she misses old times when she was happy with her mother, father and best friend/ crush. Life’s events have left her alone. She saw her routine and securities vanishing suddendly. I know lots of us know / exactly / what that feels like.

And I think that makes her so annoying. In a show where you see all kinds of different tragedies and catastrophes, Ran’s character is seen as weak and irritant, while in Real Life she would be considered a strong girl. But DC , for as much as it / TRIES / to be realistic, is not real life, and missing your loved one looks pathetic when compared with what Conan or Ai are having.

So, I have to admit her character is just… in the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s the same thing I think about Misa Amane in Death Note. Both are very strong girls, dealing with something that would be considered serious in our world, but just fades when compared with what else is happening at other characters.

Does this make me hate Ran less? Well… yes and no. I still feel INCREDIBLY annoyed each time she speaks and I still want to punch her in the face each time she cries for Shinichi, but at least now I know / WHY / she annoys me that much.

Now I just have to figure out what gets so much on my nerves about ShinRan.

… oh, wait. I know it already. But that’s another story …

That awkward moment when…

Shinichi thinks he’s a top…

When he’s actually a bottom. XD

I have to admit, I really love ShinRan and KazuHei but HeiShin will always be a guilty pleasure. 

Honestly, in a HeiShin relationship, Shinichi would obviously be the uke. <3 Hahaha Sorry Shinichi. I know your damn pride would be so crushed about this but Heiji is obviously the over-protective seme who watches over your  troublesome, fragile little uke ass. hahahaa (Pun intended, btw.)

It’s like

Basically my life ok

But I can’t.

I just hate that ship. Like, hate hate. Hate.

And I feel so bad for this

Heiji:

HEIJI IS HERE. IN THIS ARC. HEIJI IS HERE AND IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Violets are blue

Stop shoving ShinRan in my throat

This post shall be under the cut so the shippers can avoid every bit of it. In the name of the Three Laws of Fandom, if it isn’t your thing move on.

Yes. I needed to write this. Here’s a couple of disclaimers :

1 ) This is labeled as ’ Part 1 ’ because it’s done PRE-rereading end. When I’m done with the reread of the manga I’m going to write a more detailed and complete Part 2

2) This is STRICTLY PERSONAL opinions. Not meant to offend anyone or pretending to be canon evidence. Just my little, useless personal opinion.

3) This will contain parts where I explain why I think other ships don’t work as well as Heishin. Therefore, you might consider this slightly anti ShinRan and KazuHeiji. Trust me, it’s for your own good.

4) I will edit the HTML later when on PC to make this aesthetically appealing.

That being said, let’s begin!

HEISHIN IS GOLD BECAUUUUSE …

• Heiji and Shinichi complete each other. Yes. More than any other characters in there, Heiji and Shinichi are opposite, yet equals. They are black and white, brain and heart both working for the same results. Their deductions are always perfectly matching, one covering the flaws of the other. The whole East and West thing is just a metaphore for how much complementary they are. And this is absolutely flawless and awesome. Try to remind a single case where they are together in which they are not being one the other half of the other.

• Heiji and Shinichi are on the same intellectual level. They COMPLETE EACH OTHER THOUGHTS. THOUGHTS GUYS. Like, one THINKS of a sentence and the other ENDS IT IN THEIR MIND. This is sign of a strong connection, that goes way over friendship and romance. Kazuha and Heiji usually have incomprensions and misunderstandings because they just aren’t on the same level. How many times Kazuha was basically flashing something in front of Heiji’s eyes and he just couldn’t see it? Same goes for Ran and Shinichi. But Heiji and Shinichi share the same minds, the same morals and interests, even with two completely different ways to see them. They aren’t just soulmates, they are MINDmates, and that’s so important for people like them!

• Heiji UNDERSTANDS Shinichi’s passion. Related to the last point, Heiji really gets what Shinichi is. He catches his nature as a person. He understand his love for mystery, his obsession for case solving, his nights spent on books. While Ran finds his passion creepy and annoying ( “ Stop with that detective thing! ” ) Heiji FEELS it so much. And that’s really important for someone like Shinichi who LIVES for his passion. Ran will never fully understand his emotions and feelings for cases and justice. She can accept it, maybe admire it, but she will never / understand / it. Heiji does. He will support and encourage him with his decisions and he will always be there with him when a case turns out to be particularry dangerous or difficoult. Remember that one of Shinichi’s main traits is his passion. He needs someone who GETS it and respects it. For an instance, Heiji will always be ready to drop a date to go case solving. Ran won’t.

• Their relationship is even and well balanced. They are on the same level, they joke, they quarrel, they fights, they laughs together… this is what a relationship should be made of. Shinichi and Heiji are / FRIENDS / to begin with, and they aren’t scared to hurt each other’s feelings when yelling and arguing. There is more comunication between them than within anyone else in the series. Ran is … I don’t know how to express this, but she feels like… a level lower than Shinichi in the relationship. She waits for him, she lives for him, she is… under him. They have some awkward childhood crush fights, but that’s all. They never confront their opinions on serious things, they never actually FACE each other. It’s mostly Shinichi talking and Ran nodding and admiring him. Same goes for Kazuha. Shinichi and Heiji, however, TALK, CONFRONT IDEAS AND MORALS. That’s what love is about, in my opinion. The thing they have between them is closer to real love than what will ever be between them and the girls.

• Heiji and Shinichi are NOT childhood friends. Okay, this might be a bit stupid, but… really. Gosho seems to have a fetish for childhood friends love. See both ShinRan and KazuHeiji but also Kaito and Aoko or lots of secondary characters. But that thing is honestly overrated and irrealistic. Heiji falls ( we’re getting there later ) for Shinichi when he’s already a grown up individual. They are able to go past the first childlike affinity and move from there together. Because really, a childhood-lovers thing is rarely lasting throught time. When we’re kids we get attracted to some things, some very silly things such as - She’s sweet and cute! She has a nice hairpin! - but those are not good bases for a relationship in 90% of the cases.

• Heiji and Shinichi share the same battle. One of the most important things is this point, in my opinion. The fight against the black organization will always be one of Shinichi’s life main events, if not THE main one. Can you imagine what an impact such a big thing can have on a person’s mind? This will always be the biggest part of his life, something that will make him grow as a totally different person, that will form his personality and shape his mind. And Heiji is there the whole time. He knows everything and fights at his side. This is too important to be left alone. When older, Shinichi will always remember that events of his life and who helped him overcome them. Who was there with him when he felt in despair. Who helped him fight his worst enemy. Ran was not there. Yes, it’s not her fault, and yes, Shinichi will probably tell her everything afterwards, but it will always be a sum up of the events. She didn’t feel the fear when seeing Gin’s eyes. She wasn’t there when his shrinked body trembled in desperation. But Heiji was. Heiji was there the whole time.

• Their relationship is not based on lies. You can figure this out on your own but, really. A relationship CAN’T be built over lies and waiting. And you can find all the excuses you want, but no, there is no excuse. Shinichi is lying to Ran and they’re living in a constant limbo of distrust and fear. That can’t possibly be sane, guys.

I can’t find any valid reason for the way I feel towards this ship, it’s just an intense emotion that I can control.

So... either Minho is carrying Jisung's bag or they share a bag OR it's actually Minho's bag but Jisung is just using his wallet (Minho's) to pay for the drinks

And can we please talk about Minho’s little smirk after Jisung said something to him (sorry I don’t know Korean ☹️)??! No? Okay then...

When I was 10, my mom made me wear a bra and it felt like a punishment for being different.

When I was 10, I took the bra off when changing for gymnastics and accidentally dropped it in the school hallway. A teacher picked it up and said, “Oh, this must belong to you” and handed it back to me in front of everyone. I quit gymnastics.

When I was 11, I thought maybe the boobs would be okay so long as they didn’t get any bigger than would fit in my hand, so I kept measuring it, but they did.

When I was 12, I started wearing two or three sports bras to smush them down, until one day a classmate said, “Are you wearing two bras?!” while laughing.

When I was 13, a boy told me he wanted to squeeze my boobs “until they popped.”

When I was 14, I got cast in a play as an older character and a classmate told me I got the role because I had boobs.

When I was 17, my mom told me to return a swimsuit because it would be too distracting for my boyfriend’s father.

When I was 21, I got properly fitted for a bra and everyone felt the need to tell me how much better my boobs looked.

When I was 26, I got pregnant and my immediate fear was that my boobs would get bigger.

When I was 28, I got shamed for trying to feed my screaming baby in public without a cover.

When I was 28, people asked me “why are you bothering to use a breastfeeding cover?”

When I was 30, people gave me weird looks that I wasn’t yelling at my kid for putting their hand on my boob.

When I was 31, I avoided going to the beach or pool because I didn’t want to have to deal with boobs in a swimsuit.

When I was 32, I got asked, again, “why don’t you get a breast reduction?”

When I was 33, I watched a 5yo girl get shamed for running around in sweltering heat without a shirt on and had to reprimand a bunch of tween boys who thought it was okay to shame her for doing something they do all the time.

When I was 34, my kid kept patting my breast and saying “Mommy’s squishy breast!!” They will never see me express any shame about tits, because I want them to have a different mindset than I had. Yes, boobs are nice! They’re squishy! They’re fun! That’s the end of that.

I’m 35 and no longer give a fuck. I don’t care anymore. As a teenager my tits were covered in stretch marks. They’ve been engorged with milk. My nipple changed shape with pregnancy. Give it another couple decades and my breasts will probably be all wrinkly. It’s sexual when I’m using it sexually. I don’t fucking care, and I won’t be ashamed anymore. 

Every time a policy or cultural hangup treats people with breasts differently, it fucks us over. 

Tumblr’s new policy makes an active choice to participate in this culture of shame. By classifying “female-presenting nipples” as explicit material, Tumblr has taken a stance that any chest or breast that differs from a male default is worthy of shame and unavoidably sexual. The idea that breasts are shameful and unavoidably sexual is exactly what fucked me up for so much of my life.

Your man Perth folded like a pancake as soon as Saint pushed for more! He tries to be spicy but as soon as Saint actually responds to him he gets shy.

Exhibit #A

so for some ungodly reason tumblr staff decided it’d be a good idea to allow flashy gifs or incredibly bright images to be a background for the login screen. a lot of people i know are photosensitive and prone to headaches or other, worse things that can be caused by this. so naturally i wrote a small script to disable those completely. hopefully permanently.
