Kaijou Summer Event 2026 Announcement☀️🏝️⛵️

---

「Photo × Kaijou」

Using your camera lens and your pen, capture a one-of-a-kind "photograph" of them together.

---

How to Participate

❶ Take a photo

It can be a photo you took during travelling, a corner of your city, a slice of daily life — any scene where you think, "If Kaiba and Jounouchi were here, what would they be doing?"

Real, surreal, old-timey, futuristic. All styles are welcome!

❷ Create your "Kaijou Photo"

Artists: Draw Seto Kaiba and Katsuya Jounouchi onto your chosen photo so that it looks like the photo was taken for them (or even taken by them, like a selfie, perhaps!) You may choose to recreate the original scene faithfully or edit the photo with any fantasy elements of your choice.

Writers: Use your photo as inspiration to write a story for Kaijou, no word count limits. You can let that one frame become a specific moment or scene in your story.

I'M DYING at this hot lion man continuously hitting on Soren?? like?? I guess it's time for Ike to get his man??

LMAO NEVER MIND THEN, Soren is getting himself

ok but the immediate RUN to be next to Ike instead, you know that's right

ohhhh he wants this man (Soren) so bad...I get it king 😔✊

Creators do not owe anyone content. Do not ask writers when they will update.

If an author did not ask for [negative] criticism , do not give criticism.

Read the tags carefully before reading a fanfic.

If you ignored the tags and were upset, that is your responsibility, not the creator’s.

Disliking a ship does NOT give you the right to attack people who enjoy it.

Do not tell authors or shippers that their ship is “disgusting,” “wrong,” or “shouldn’t exist.” Shipping fictional characters is not a moral failing.

No one is obligated to justify why they ship two fictional characters.

Headcanons are PERSONAL interpretations, not universal truth.

Dark themes in fiction do not equal real life beliefs or intentions.

Leaving kudos or short positive comments genuinely matters.

Not every fanwork is made for you, and that is okay.

Scrolling past content you dislike is better than engaging negatively

Enjoying a fandom later than others does not make someone less of a fan.

Oh, DAMN, this is a loaded question...

So, why Duo, first of all? I honestly couldn't tell you. There was something about him that appealed to me as a 12-year-old undiagnosed autistic child with severe trauma. He's exactly what I love in a blorbo: a diminutive guy who kicks all the ass available to him and also manages to get himself into life-threatening situations. I think by the time we see him getting the shit kicked out of him on the Lunar Base, I'd claimed him as mine. Like yup, that's my baby right there!

Who can really say why any of us attach to the characters we choose? They speak to something in us. With Duo and myself, I like his aesthetic. I like his style. I like his spirit. Why? Dunno! He occupies a corner of my soul and I want to see him tortured into happiness. And Deathscythe Hell EW version is THE GOAT for me. Peak mech design. 10/10.

Now, with 1x2, it’s a bit more complicated, and I’m gonna have to get extremely candid here. As an undiagnosed autistic child with severe trauma who was ALSO working on several levels of queerness and had no idea, gay ships appealed to me from the start. I always rooted for the underdog ships, the ships between people you might look at and go, “Not in a million years.” My support of gay shipping was only galvanized by my aversion to het shipping, as instilled by early experiences that implanted into my brain that a man holding power over a woman in any way was dangerous.

Men were threats, from my perspective – but that threat was neutralized if they would simply go and fuck each other. At 12, it would be years before I’d discover femdom, so shipping strictly gay ships was the only way I could safely explore any form of sexuality. It was a way for me to feel powerful. Putting a fictional man through the same things women endure – assault, harassment, pregnancy, powerlessness – was a way for me to feel less like prey, myself. And in the course of this exploration, I bonded with those ships. I took comfort in them. 1x2 was my very first gay ship, and it’s lodged DEEP in my heart because of that.

Why do I think Heero and Duo work together, specifically? Much as with my answer concerning Duo: because they make me feel happy. I love the synergy between them. I love the snark. The way Heero’s playful side comes out in glimpses (the scene where he takes out that MS that was coming up behind Duo, then laughs about that taking care of his debt, that was SO freaking cute). I love how they work so seamlessly together as a team. They trust each other. Watching Heero turn the controls over to Duo in EW because he trusts his piloting skills? Watching them working together to find Relena? It makes my heart melt!

It is unfortunate that you can’t really talk about 1x2 without addressing the rampant misogyny and heterophobia that continue to scar the ship to this day, but I believe that progress can occur. 1x2 shipping continues to serve as a safety net as I explore non-queerness and the healing of old hurts. I left the fandom as a teenager because of the 1xR/1x2 ship wars. I didn’t understand why we couldn’t simply ship and let ship, why people had to fight over something so trivial. It is saddening to see it happening afresh even with new fans, but I hope that someday we can be free of the things that hold us back. I hope we can all realize that we’re adults now, and we don’t have to fight over imaginary blorbos having imaginary sex.

If it seems like I spent more time talking about myself than about the ship, it’s because you have to look at the people who ship in order to understand. I can give you every single thing I love about them, and I still don’t think it would truly show you WHY. It’s something that requires deeper analysis. It’s also something that varies from person to person. For me, 1x2 was a coping mechanism. They are a comfort. They were a way for me to make sense of being “other” in a time when I still didn’t fully understand why I felt that way. And I suspect that it’s similar for a lot of the old 1x2 diehards. When something finds its way into your heart at that crucial stage of formation, it’s almost certain to remain forever.

LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE!!!
