!RARE PAIR! (Shintsu)

I dislike Shinsou x blondes. Like, I feel absolutely no chemistry with those ships whatsoever. Especially Shinmono, but that’s probably my general dislike towards Monoma. By blondes I mean his most popular ships, by the way.

Maybe it’s not even them. Maybe it’s the electric blonde x subdued insomniac thing, because I don’t ship Erasermic either. It’s just such a repititive trope the only exception being shinojiro.

I do like their friendships and dynamic, but turning it romantic genuinely exhausts me. Monoma can just.. stay there. In that corner. Raving to himself. Of all the characters, i connect with him the least, and my bitch of an ex-bff is only PARTLY the reason.

Maybe Im just needlessly picky. I’ve got this vision stuck in my head and I’m definitely biased. I like Shinsou with people on the same wavelength as him, if different frequencies. Like Todoroki, or Momo, or Tsu or even Ochako to some extent. Iida too. The list gets cut off very short when I only want calmer, slightly more relating people.

And it’s not even that they have to be similar, and I DO enjoy opposites attract. But I love it when the differences aren’t surface level, they’re in sync but still their own instrument. Shintodo likes naps, but Shouto likes it because it gives him a sense of safety, hence alluding to warmth, and Shinsou likes it because it silences his brain, hence alluding to a colder conclusion. Hot and cold, see?

In short, I like nuance rather than stark differences, and boy are the ships I mentioned full of nuance. Shintodo is lonely. Shouto from isolation and Hitoshi from alienation. Shiniida has something to prove. ShinMomo doesn’t feel self confidence. Shinochako are underdogs. Shintsu are self serving.

If you like Shinkami or Shinmono, I’m not trying to attack you. I just wanted to rant about these- in my eyes- overused ships and the other ones I feel could be super neat. And yeah, it seems I ship Shinsou with more girls than guys, even if I ship him with those two boys with more intensity.

Mei, Shinsou, and Izuku is such a cute ship! I've never even thought of that one before!

Shinsou and Tsuyu have my whole ass, though so I just had to XD

Shinsou and Tsuyu like to enjoy a warm cuppa beneath a blanket on a cold day!
