Contrahero: Yes, yes, and yes. Incredible, talented, changed forever, never the same-

I genuinely love this ship, the dynamic is so wonderful and I think it lends itself into balancing the two characters out, while also supporting them through their strengths and weaknesses equally, which I think is always fun. It's very much 'person who's used to mediating everything and has anxiety' and 'person who doesn't seem to give a fuck and appears goofy, but is secretly just as anxious' that I think lends itself to some very cool writing potentials as well. And the Stranger ending? "There's the guy I know." "You've really grown a heart haven't you?" Hhjhkhjgjhk.

Burned bridges: This was actually the first ship of the voices that I had, and I remember during one of the endings with The Damsel when Cold OUT OF NOWHERE just goes "Oh? I'd love to see you try." Like okay- (I genuinely raised my brows at that dialogue lol)

Their dynamic I feel definitely leans more on the toxic side, but in an 'opposites attract' kind of way? What honestly got my head turning for this dynamic especially was in The Fury? (Please lmk if that's the right name) Where after the rest of the voices get teared into atoms, Cold remains with you and notices "Oh. Maybe she's more like me than I thought." (Paraphrasing) Which is incredibly interesting?? Idk, I feel that if Smitten ever heard that side of Cold, it could lead to a really interesting dynamic. But this isn't about Cold, I could probably write a whole different post about his character, I think he's probably one of the most interesting characters in the entire game honestly.

Broken x Stubborn (Idk if they have a ship name): Okay, so hear me out on this. They definitely HATE each other in game, and this is probably more of a headcanon/fanon interpretation of how they would interact. But I find the idea nifty.

Stubborn is brash. He's harsh, reckless, doesn't like to think things through at his or everyone's expense, or give into temptation or emotion. Broken is miserable but softer, fragile, self destructive at the expense of everyone around him because of his, well, broken attitude, but he is VERY in tune with his emotions.

I think it's a similar situation into the 'opposites attract' dynamic but I feel that if both of them REALLY tried, they could balance each other out in a way I don't think any of the other voices fully could (Well okay that's probably not true), Stubborn could teach Broken that if you want something, you've got to fight you're way through it to have it and be more confident in himself and his desires, while Broken could teach Stubborn that sometimes, it's okay to break down and let go of your pride for a second, and that weakness isn't always an issue.

Problem is, there is NO fanfiction for these two, besides one I found on ao3. Should I write some maybe? I might one day if I'm tempted.

Parahunted: I actually used to ship Hunted x Broken before more, and I still think they're a cute pairing, but I ended reading some Parahunted stuff out of curiosity and I have changed my mind. Omg.

What a great pairing, very sweet, and have a strong relatability with each other, being the main two that are always on guard, always watching, always on high alert. And I think that understanding could go a long way, having the ability to connect with and calm eachother down without being too overbearing. Big fan, like them a lot.

And... that's it for right now! Bonus headcanons I have for a couple of voices:

Cheated is aroace and repulsed. This voice does not give a fuck about romance, he's just offended when no one can see any red flags lol.

Skeptic has actually had a crush on some of the voices before, but his own demise leads him to never actually trying to presume anything due to information and the lack of information that he's unsure of.

Opportunist get's zero bitches. No charisma. Has no flirtation skills WHATSOEVER. Rip to them.
