that one shizuhona shipper

The one that haunts the Pinterest posts. The one that haunts the CO-OP rooms. The one that haunts Ao3. That one ShizuHona shipper haunting the Project Sekai community with her love for the rare-pair shipping of Honami Mochizuki x Shizuku Hinomori. Also the creator of 100 Yen Prayer.

In actual words, Hi. I’m whatever you dub me. Magikarp is most common.

she/they

I’m just a nerd who is a major fan of this rare-pair with an astounding lack of content when there lies so much potential between these two.

pleqseee please please pleaseeeeee send asks, ask for head canons I may have or drabbles, comments, anything!! don’t be fooled, though this is most definitely honashizu focused… im a hardcore multi shipper and enjoy lots of ships from this franchise! I love to write!

Not random at all! 💖 I don’t recall the exact origins because it was five years ago now (what the hell??) but I can try and rummage through my brain.

I think it was looking at the interactions and the idea of Leo/Need interacting with Shizuku is what made me consider the possibility of the ship in the first place. Because at the least, the two most definitely knew each other to some extent within childhood and likely got along then, just like the rest of the band.

Then the idea of:

“Oh, Shizuku (in a way) has some of the same struggles as Honami. That’s kind of sweet,” came.

Then:

“They definitely talk a lot of the beautification committee, so most likely they have a ton of shared stories and overshared a few times.”

Then:

“They have similar traits but are different enough to be two different people, and their flaws and weaknesses complement the other’s strength extremely well.”

Then:

“ShihoHona is also a really popular ship for good reason. That would be interesting if Honami had an unrequited love towards Shizuku while Shiho liked Honami... She would likely notice Shiho acting a little bit differently towards her, and then she would feel intense guilt for not reciprocating those feelings and purposely act oblivious while accidentally hurting Shiho without realising it. That would be a crazy arc for her to navigate— if it’s okay for her to be selfish or if she should continue suppressing her feelings for her best friend’s sake. Plus learning that ignoring a problem/feeling isn’t going to make it go away, and sometimes it just better to face the conflict head on than cause long term pain and grievances.”

In one pull. ONE. PULL.

It creates almost a “love triangle” esq situation between the Hinomoris and Honami— with Shiho crushing on Honami and Honami crushing on Shizuku. In my head, Shizuku notices when Honami starts acting different towards her, and when Shiho starts becoming more distant to Shizuku and Honami… but Shizuku doesn’t act on it. Rather, she waits for the right time. She doesn’t exactly know her own feelings yet, and choosing to pursue Honami will hurt Shiho, but turning Honami directly down will hurt her (and conflict with Shizuku’s own feelings towards Honami).

So she waits. Things could resolve naturally possibly. Making a choice means hurting, but if she waits… then just maybe no one will get hurt.

This is similar to how I think Honami would pursue Shizuku— doing everything she can to get close to her but never outright declaring anything because choosing also means hurting Shiho.
