Ship Bias - I WANNA BOTHER U TOO

Send ‘Ship Bias’ and I will share up ships I have a bias for for my muse 💚

Midori x Hajime

Ok ok ok, I really see this as Hajime being unapologetically open about finding Midori really fucking hot and it is very girlboss, that takes balls, especially towards someone who's known to have rejected so many girls. Hajime is shown to be very honest about compliments with some romantic/flirty undertones, but with Midori it like. A step next. It's heartthrob moment.

I like how Midori is also flustered by Hajime's compliments, but not in a way he is uncomfortable unlike with girls who confess to him or with Chiaki's skinship. He takes it genuinely, and that is something that is not easy. Midori is comfortable with Hajime, he finds him soothing and soft. I do see Midori subconsciously having this comfy feeling with Hajime like he does with a mascot given how he is said to be so pretty and cute, almost ethereally so. They are a miniature Chiakana.

Just this emotional trust coming from Midori means so much, and even unlike with Yuzuru, he does not feel pressure to be his best self : he can just be himself. Hajime is his friend. And not only his friend, but I do think the most peaceful AND close friendship Midori has, with the both of them having interests and personality that merge well with one another. They just naturally get along, and it is something Midori needs so, SO much to be happy.

On the other side, Hajime struggles to be seen as something more than his idol persona ... and Midori does just that. Midori has no interest in gossip, or even in idols in general, he is very open about not giving a single crap about it all, and he only sees Hajime as the boy he is. His clubmate, his friend he enjoys being around. And that is so precious for two boys with the same objective in life to just exist and ( cottagecore ) vibing. The only reason to me that they have not interacted more is just that Ryuseitai and Ra*bits do not cross path that often !

Midori x Hiyori

Whimsical City Rider has me in a chokehold too. Ok, ok, those two have had literally one story together but it meant so much. First of all, I mean, the classic boy next door and rich boy totally disconnected from the real world. Like, even in Jun's case, he's had enough drama in his life to be exceptional, but ... Midori is just a guy. The hilarity of it all.

Then just ... Midori has never met someone he actually aspire to be, he both sees Hiyori as attractive ( ?! Midori never found someone attractive before outside mascots ?! ), the ideal idol and even the embodiment of a mascot in a human. There's just so much to unpack here. How easily Hiyori was able to make Midori at ease with his antics, making him forget his intimidating reputation as somene from Eden. Hiyori encouraging Midori to just be himself and love what he loves ... How Midori can be both attracted to Hiyori and Hiyori being the type of man Midori would want to be ?! Like this is a possibility I never thought of before reading this story and YES I SEE IT. Hiyori likes cute and pretty things, they have that same type of aesthetic, only Midori is still shy and trying to find his roots. They have the same vibe in so many things, only coming from different socioeconomic classes ... !

Then there's the value of Midori in Hiyori's life. The bike teaching ? Right out of a romcom I'm just weeping. There's this aspect of Midori that is down to earth that feels so refreshing with narratives around Hiyori's privileged life, with the absence of imbalance in power dynamics. Usually, I do not really like those type of stories, but they really made it so Hiyori does not appear entirely stupid, he makes mistakes out of ignorance that are more probable without making him appear totally stupid. If they were to interact more, I'd love for Hiyori to see more things to look up to in Midori, as I believe his focus was on making everyone have a good time, with the bike riding being the one time he allowed himself to think about his own joy.

Overall, the two together ? I think they are just so adorable. Midori is pretty ... Hiyori likes pretty things very much, can we have a scene of him bringing Midori to Pretty 5 ? I enjoy how much Hiyori challenges Midori mentally, without taxing him emotionally. Unlike Chiaki, Subaru and co., Hiyori is actually paying attention to Midori's emotional state and this is just ... chef's kiss, so healthy. Love it. And in the same way, I feel like Hiyori knows that, since Midori is not involved in any drama or complications of the sort, he can have fun without worry or baggage, and this ... this is a pandora's box ready to open. It can be so so good ... !
