What were the things that made you a Sutao shipper? Like your own reasons that made you love them

Im on mobile but imagine the wo shi mama gif right here (´ε｀ )akshs sorry again for another long text post not under cut orz but aa I think to start with just that they were so unusual, and that their love for each other ran so deep. and the kink ngshdg. it’s very hard to ship them just as a couple without the imbalanced dynamic, and at the time I really needed to see some kinds of love that weren’t so typical - a relationship not based in traditional romo/sexual attraction. the first time I saw the cam of tao calling jm mama and being so smoochy I was super interested, then happy camp etc happened and furthered that..and it interested me a lot that tao was so sweet and invested in it. I was crazy about the concept of mama kink (as opposed to d*ddy kink cause that was like just becoming mainstream at the time) and that sutao could have that basic dynamic but it was much more about caregiving and genderfeelsy and could be either platonic or kinky. and it amused me to no end how intense their fanservice could get and people would just dismiss it bc no that’s his mama.. 👀 and I found that was just their overall relationship, they weren’t like the others. it’s not like once the joke was over they just acted like friends - taozi was in jm’s care always, he was a big baby around him always and either sought out his guidance or rebelled against him always. and then they were also comfortable enough to go hard with the (almost) making out. they so clearly adored each other and it really fascinated me, and back then there was no content at all really for gender/a-spec/nd softs and I felt they fitted all of that really nicely and it made my heart so 💖💖💖. seeing baby taozi loved and taken care of and completely adored for being exactly the way he was, and then seeing how soft jm was for him and how silly he’d allow himself to be around him..always adapting to help tao and work with his moods and support him when he was sick. and that jm was a role that tao felt so strongly about (u know how much his actual mama means to him), and that tao was so open about how much he appreciated it (and that tao then tried to take care of jm too in return (*´ー｀*). jm was the person tao would stay up all night confiding in, someone he could totally be himself with. they were terrible and constantly getting up to no good together bc they just enjoyed each other so much. they have a really unique kind of love that’s so built on a genuine desire to care and nurture, but could also be intimate, to the extent of being like partners before the moment breaks and they’re silly mama and baby again. I find tao hard to ship ~normally~ because his interactions and views on love are so..not cut out for that, so for him to find someone he can love that way is really special ♡ it’s just. so interesting and the affection and adoration they have for each other makes my hearts swell like a big old balloon 🎈
