#because alan sure as hell doesn't deserve them. right? all they know is he'd probably use them to torment others

[i3utterflyeffect]

What if stick!Alan gains powers at some point? He’s fidgeting with a random item and accidentally resizes it somehow, and he just silently stares at it wondering how that just happened and what it means

god that'd be funny. SC is so excited because HOLY FUCK THAT'S SO COOL!!!!! and alan is just unsure if he should be worried about this ability or not. i think it'd be fun if he could do similar things to what agent does with his array of tools as well. plus like. that'd be hella interesting when vic comes around

Hey again

Thank you so much for answering my previous question. I have never seen anyone else ship Nanao with Jugram(sorry idk how to spell his first name). That would make an interesting dynamic. I can understand Shunsui's case tho. What about Shunsui and Jushiro? I personally don't ship them but I can see why other people do tho🤷‍♀️

Yes, I'm confident I'm the first person to ship Nanao/Jugram. Pretty sure I may be the only person to ship Shunsui and sister in law too. People may have noticed he loved her but it's not their ship. I'm cursed with rare ships wherever I go.

As for juushun, I don't find it particularly interesting. I don't ship it, no. But people are free to do so. I have interacted with a few juushun shippers on Twitter and they seem nice. Some even like the idea of him having loved sister in law, bc she's not around right now (hell arc when? she should return please kubo), so she doesn't pose a threat. (Shunnao would pose a threat, bc Nanao is around unlike her mom, but that ship was nuked by the family ties reveal. I didn't much care for that ship either but they had good edits.) Could be that in general I tend to ship f/m or f/f, in that I need women. Of the few m/m I have shipped is Eric/Alan (Kuroshitsuji) & Prosciutto/Pesci (JoJo).

I'd much rather choose Jushiro/Kiyone, Jushiro/Unohana or Jushiro/Komamura. As for Shunsui, it's tricky because I don't also need ships or have ships in a show, so it's not like I need this man paired with people. He's a tricky one, because he's a very unreliable person who cares too much about pleasure but ultimately has a good heart for those he cares for. The issue with juushun is similar to the issue of shipping shunnao, even if incest wasn't a thing or he weren't in love with her mom, she would have to wipe his ass at work and at home--he'd be like her child. Ultimately, Jushiro deserves someone who can love him fully. I think if one rereads the manga, they will notice Shunsui has never done anything selfless if not for his sister in law. And that is okay, but unlike Lisa or Nanao who have to chase him around to get things done, he found her and showed up as soon as she called.

To me it is not an issue of what sexuality Shunsui or Jushiro are, but the chemistry. (When I say unreliable, I mean that I see Shunsui as Ed's dad in FMA, in the sense that they neglect those around them or do bare minimum, but hope to fix it with a big sacrifice at the end: the way he almost killed that shota hollow for penetrated Ukitake, or how he pops around to save Nanao from death. But day to day this man would be a nightmare to deal with, especially in a romantic relationship.) But Shunsui in canon seems to attract a lot of men, he practically puts his rizz on with any man he has fought or forced to do things, including Aizen.

Jushiro on the other hand, to me reads like someone who'd want to settle down traditionally, and have a family; his bankai in the anime was twins but even in the manga he has the "children" division and acts like a dad. He probably wanted a wife (or husband idk for all I care let's open this to the LGBT) and kids (he can birth those kids too if you want), but knows his limitations because of his 'disease'. He either could die and let her raise them which he would find unfair, or maybe he can't conceive at all as a result, and may be infertile. (Now that's a concept for a man suffering infertility because we often see women portrayed as seeing it a big deal and wanting kids, would have been refreshing to see a man like that confirmed.) I cannot see Shunsui, or Nanao for that matter, wanting kids. The narrative in fact rewards the two for not getting married or going the traditional way, as the only two survivors of the Kyoraku-Ise family debacle with the Ise curse & more, if we include Yamamoto in the mess.

One pet peeve with juushun art is how fans choose mostly the old academy days, from the first part of the manga, which I guess makes sense because these ships are old and that is when they first formed them, and in much prefer the way they look in the second half of the manga flashbacks. That, and that most people make Shunsui top because he's hairy, when I see him as pretty, and Jushiro as manlier. Even if Shunsui is the manlier if we go by body size, I don't think the biggest should top by default. I see him as a bottom, even in shunSIL.

But ultimately, people can ship what and who they want. And they also don't have to interact with people that share the same ship only. Or consume ships that aren't theirs.
