Celesaya, Sonigiri, Tenmikan because I need to talk about my rarepairs.
IāLL DO MY BEST. (i nearly put breast; jfc)
CeleSaya
My take on their canon relationship:
They donāt have one. I canāt remember one instance where they talked to each other be it in anthologies or TDP.
Do I ship them?
Sure.
Reasons why I do/donāt ship them:
Becauseā¦girlsā¦
I do kinda like the idea of two characters who areĀ āputting on airsā interacting because it can lead to interesting conflicts and tension.
Probably.
Iām sorry my reasons can only be shallow because Iām not invested in Celes at all as a character, lol.
Headcanon, if any:
Maizonoās very good at having a cheerful face during a poker game. Celes would definitely find her to be an interesting opponent, at least.
How much do I ship (%):
65%. Itās passing.
Sonigiri
My take on their canon relationship:
IāM ALSO PRETTY SURE THEY DONāT HAVE ONE AND HAVE NEVER SPOKEN TO EACH OTHER IN ANY OF THE MATERIALS. I remember Sonia interacting with TogamiĀ (in Chapter 6, I mean) but I donāt think she really does with Kirigiri.
Boo!
Do I ship them?
Yes!
Reasons why I do/donāt ship them:
GIRLS!!!
Okay in a more genuine sense, I actually do think these two would get along together pretty well. They both have the interesting similarity in that theyāre burdened with great responsibility by their families, although Sonia is a lot less comfortable with that than Kirigiri is. But I think that could be a good conversation between the two of them, especially since Kirigiri would be more encouraging and good about pointing out Soniaās stronger points, providing a bit of a well-needed confidence boost. Sonia could also coax Kirigiri into being more open, and it could be a more mutual thing.
They probably share a lot of elegant tastes, too, although Iām all for the idea of Kirigiri being goaded into trying some very interesting Novoselic dishes. Also who doesnāt love the idea of two badass girlfriends hunting a golden Makango?
I love that idea.
Itās a good idea.
Someone write a film noir mystery with this pairing before I cry.
Headcanon, if any:
One of the things that helps Sonia through a rough night is braiding Kirigiriās hair.
How much do I ship (%):
85%! Good pair!
TenMikan
My take on their canon relationship:
They had one whole event together in TDP and it was honestly the most wholesome shit Iāve ever seen.
Let Tenko be a defender of all girls (who swoon in return) forever. It suits her so much better. Also Mikan giggling at Tenko complimenting her is also pretty cute and not deliberately self-destructive like her behavior usually is.
Thatās great!
Do I ship them?
Yes!
Reasons why I do/donāt ship them:
Because Tenko has shown in Chapter 3 that sheās unwilling to put up with self-destructive and harmful methods of coping so thereās a good chance sheās not going to put up with Mikanās manipulative tendencies.
So their relationship is a lot likely to work through initial unhealthiness and Tenko would encourage Mikan into actively being better not just for her own sake but for others as well. Itāll be a rocky road getting there but I like to think that Mikan would genuinely try for Tenkoās sake and later her own. I also really like the idea of Tenko just inspiring Mikan from how expressive and enthusiastic she is, and the idea of someone trying to be better because they want to do right by this other person that theyāre so inspired by is just⦠Iām weak.
There is a concern about Tenko getting a little too life coach-y, but I like to think that Tenko would encourage Mikan into seeing an actual therapist so that the issue is side-stepped at least a little.
I also think that Mikan could help Tenko in return because Mikan can get a little harsh and outspoken if sheās confident enough so she could probably help Tenko be a little lessā¦uh. Dumb. Naive, too, I guess.
Sheād probably feel really bad for telling off Tenko, but tbh I think being told off would inspire Tenko to try and pick up better on the mood so that she can emotionally mature a little more.
This got a lot longer than I thought it would.
Headcanon, if any:
Tenko immediately covers Mikan up whenever she falls. Itās her instinct. Mikan is at first very bewildered by this.
How much do I ship (%):
88%! Yeah! Double eights!
