🔥 crossover ships (as a concept)

I think the concept only really works if like both characters actually have several key connecting points and contrasts between them that would make for a solid ship (as well as a fun story, but that goes without saying, haha). It's not going to last long if it's something that's only surface level like "oh, both of them love food and eat a lot!" or "they both have yellow hair" without also taking into account the other parts of the characters and personalities into the first place.

As an example: I do think Murasakibara(from Kuroko no Basuke) and Fujino would be cute, but it's only in an aesthetic manner and also a slight VA-joke since he shares the same voice as Mikiya (Kenichi Suzumura). Beyond that and a couple of surface level traits of them having purple hair and actually would kick someone's ass even if they don't look like it? Neither of them would actually mesh well together, due to how Murasakibara is a pretty stubborn guy while Fujino is kind of a doormat (albeit partly because of her circumstances and whatnot), so I don't think they'd be good for each other. Compare that to Hanamiya who's also from the same canon as Murasakibara, but he has several key connecting traits he shares with Fujino, as well as also providing a nice subtle contrast between them beyond their appearances of 'moody, genius guy' and 'quiet, softspoken girl'.

The only maaaybe kinda sorta exception to this is toxic crossover ships, but even then, there's gotta be something more there too as well.

Ultimately though, I still also think it comes down to passion! The last thing I want is to be someone's reason to dropping a crossover ship/concept they really like all because they saw my personal opinions on what I think is considered to be a good ship. Life is short, and if there's a crossover ship someone really loves regardless of what I said, JUST GO FOR IT. 👍
