Hi! I don't know if you're answering questions, and I don't think you are, but I'll ask anyway. What are your opinions on the main five ships? Do you have any other ships/crack ships? Why do you ship them? Aaaaaand, what sort of ships do you want to see or think there should be more of? (Wlw, mlf, rivals to lovers, best friends to lovers, etc.)
ah i usually am answering questions it just takes me a while to get to it because of school!!! sorry abt that and thank u for ur patience !!!
squints apologies ahead of time if iām mistaken, but Iām gonna take āfive main shipsā as Chococoffee, teamilk, bb-52, steakwine, and uh.......napastel? SORRY I HAVE BEEN SEEING A STEADY DECREASE IN SHIP CONTENT SO AGAIN SORRY IF IM WRONG
Chococoffee: dabs love them the og bromance, they have such an entertaining dynamic between the dramatic Chocolate and the āonly as dramatic as far as itās good for businessā coffee, and tbh, the scene in Chocolateās backstory where Coffee convinces him to Not Murder Selinaās former lover and think about what she wouldāve wanted for him is where like I first realized: shit bro this aint just a pretty anime food game-
otherwise, Chocolateās flair and dramatique hides an inner cynicism about the nature of love and flirtation, and how a lot of it is the desire to please others rather than true reciprocity; the pragmatic businessman Coffee might actually be refreshing to Chocolate because he cuts through the bs, he uses their flirty personas for the purposes of gaining pr, and makes no bones abt it !
Teamilk: i actually have an ask in my inbox rn abt teamilk and i would like to save it for later apologies!!
BB-52: man even tho i will admit that this ship really got Capital P Popular, this ship is really comforting to me because of how soft the two Pals are, and that whole narrative of rediscovering your own humanity after great trauma and pain with people who love and support you............... like especially just two young kids who are trying to make sense of this big scary world that wasnāt really ever made for them.....
Steakwine: another one of the V Popular ships but their dynamic of ppl whoāve known each other from the very beginning and who will know each other in a way others simply wonāt ever is Just Irreplacable pensive emojix2 i donāt really have much else to say tbh because like,,,, i feel like thereās aleady so much content that expresses the complexities of this ship out there much better than i could ever hope to do here, so uh yeah!!
Napastel: for as much as nata can be irritated by napo, i really do enjoy the fact that theyāre like... evenly matched with each other, they know exactly how to counteract the other and theyāre so similar in a lot of ways- Napo likes to tease and poke fun, but if someone isnāt on his level or frequency heās not one to try and educate them or try and bring them up he donāt got time for that shit!!!! in a similar vein, nata is very solitary and if he doesnāt care for something, he just goes Off. They donāt take each otherās shit, so when they do earn each otherās respect (and I mean this as Napo finally looking past nataās baking skills and who he actually is), itās like earned, two equals acknowledging each other as such, and even liking what they see in each other. For all of their grumbling and arguing they just have such a fun dynamic, and when shit hits the fan they got each othersā backsā¦..
handchins frankly this criticism extends more so to the fandom at large as opposed to simply a matter of shipping- I would like to see a more diverse of range of ships and ppl giving more love to some newer ships and more obscure characters, (examples: huangshanmaofeng x osmanthuscake, chrysanthemumwine x chongyangcake, minestrone x mashed potatoes, junmai x matsutake, surstromming x fish n chips I could go on man) Not trying to force anybody to do anything they want, I just like seeing some new charas get the lime light!! then again im saying this while never producing any content myself so who am I to talk!!!!!
