I want to talk about how my ships and concept of shipping varies with fandom, so name me a fandom and I'll discuss what I ship and what shipping means to me in that fandom.

I mean, take Sorata, he's a sweet boy. Sorata/Arashi is OTP of course, and they're darlings.
But!
Can you ship Sorata with Yuuto? HELL YES.
With Kamui? SURE!
With Subaru? KINDA.
With basically anyone he actually exchanged words with? I BET YOU COULD!
See what I mean?
Also the X fandom is insane in a wonderful way so they'd roll with it. I mean there's a Arashi/Subaru ship manifesto at
And of course, I also have my onetruedoomedpairing: Seishirou/Subaru which is everything I've always dreamed about without hoping to see it written. And the whole, Seishirou, Fuuma, Kamui, Subaru, any combination thereof combo of doom, pain, angst and sexiness.
And I have many side crack pairings. Like Yuuto/Karen, Tokiko/Karen, Yuzuriha/Satsuki, Karen/Setsuka, Seishirou/Tohru...
and of course there's the side pairings which are actually canon like Tohru/Saya ♥ Aoki/Karen and, well, Sorata/Arashi.
In conclusion: the X fandom is a slut, we love it for it.
