Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

Winterkov Propaganda (Selfcest)

"Corruption. Winter King is a Simon that truly only cares for himself and has hurt many to be `sane`, but he's not really himself anymore- and Simon is trying to recover from the traumas in his life and just wants to feel happy and content. But he's tempted to go back how things were with his crown- and Winter King supports this, honestly. It's a person facing a glamorized version of their worst self."

"Also, Cake yells at them to kiss, and Winter King straight up goes `Don't think it hasn't occurred to me!!` And slides away"

Coffincest Propaganda (Abusive Dynamics, Codependant Relationship, Incest)

"They're the protagonists of the game who are stuck in quarantine because `the water was infected` though by now this seems to not be true and the government just wants to let some people starve I guess."

"Their dynamic is really abusive with Ashley being possessive of Andrew and controlling his life since they were kids (making him accidentally kill a girl by asthma because she said she liked him, per example), and in the events of the game, convincing him to cannibalize their neighbor when he died to a demon (it's not like the wardens were giving them food sooo). Though Andrew also seems to have some power over her, by the fact that he's the only person she likes and talks to (especially after the quarantine driving everyone else away) and without him, she would be completely alone, giving that little touch of codependency to their relationship."

"Even with all this they're so fucking cute together, the little CG of them kissing at the end of the demo really warms my heart (I was gonna put this one on the image link, but the image I sent now is better, Ashley sitting on Andrew's lap with hickeys and Andrew with scratch marks). Also, nemlei (the dev) said they're gonna be canon on some of the full game's endings."

Despaircest Propaganda (Incest - Junko and Mukuro are sisters, Twincest, Abusive Dynamic)

"What if we caused the apocalypse together and we were both twin sisters😳 It's implied multiple times that Junko's way of showing affection is physical/emotional abuse, and Mukuro is shown as getting off from or at least enjoying Junko's abuse pretty much whenever it happens. They're literally made for each other🖤."

Comship Bracket 2 SEMI-FINALS!

The Semifinals will ALSO be handled a little differently. You're still voting for the ship you'd prefer, but this will be in 1 group of 3. Whichever ship out of this trio gets the least amount of votes on the poll will NOT be moving forward, while the other two will clash together in a proper head-to-head as the FINAL BATTLE. I understand this may make it harder to vote, but it makes the bracket easier for us here at comshipbracket! Most propaganda will be reblogged.

SEMI-FINAL POLL: Winterkov (Simon Petrikov x The Winter King), Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake VS Coffincest (Andrew Graves x Ashley Graves), The Coffin of Andy and Leyley VS Despaircest (Junko Enoshima x Mukuro Ikusaba), Danganronpa

This is the line-up for the SEMIFINALS, let's see who you all vote for to move forward into The FINALS! Remember, propaganda is encouraged! Have fun voting, everyone! Our inbox is also open for propaganda - Mod Happy (She/Her Only)The mods of this blog use a COLLECTIVE Shes/Hers/Herselves pronoun (e.g. Both the mods on comshipbracket have been working hard lately. I really enjoy hers blog and hope shes are doing well and not overexerting herselves.)

Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

SatouShio Propaganda (Underage, Age Gap - Satou is 15 and Shio is 8, Unhealthy dynamic - Satou keeps Shio locked inside constantly)

"Those that know Happy Sugar Life might be looking at this ship with the question of "How does a fifteen year old yandere kidnapping and isolating an eight year old child make it a good ship?" - To begin with, there's the fact that Satou's love is based on love alone, rather than lust. Before meeting Shio, she'd go through hundreds of boys using lust (not as an emotion, but tactic) to try and figure out if any could spark love, but none did. Due to her past with her aunt, she wasn't able to spark any emotion, all of it was falsified. Upon meeting Shio, and Shio explaining what she felt love was, Satou felt her first true emotions in a long time.

On top of that, out of every character in Happy Sugar Life, as bad as Satou can be, she is the best person for Shio to be with - and there is no arguing otherwise. If she heads back to her father, she'll be beaten and abused. If she goes with her brother Asahi and her mother, she'd be starving and impoverished - on top of that, Shio's mother outright openly stated she was abandoning Shio when Satou first met her, and Taiyou almost outright states he desires Shio physically, unlike Satou's emotional-focused desires. If we look at the scenes Shio goes outside, the streets are as dangerous for her as Satou's claiming during Shio's isolation. Satou taking Shio back to the apartment they stay in was the best case scenario for Shio.

In episode 5, Shio even states that she loves Satou - more than anyone in her family - and that Satou is warmer than her family. It's hard to make an argument that Shio should be with anyone but Satou, despite the nature of the anime. Shio wants to be there, and is better off there than she would be with anyone else. Satou may be a murderer, but in all cases of murder it's either to protect Shio's safety outright, or to protect their relationship together - Satou loves Shio romantically, and Shio loves Satou back. While some may argue Satou's love is familial, they kiss on the lips in episode 2, recite wedding vows every night, and have another more intimate chaste kiss in episode 11 during a pseudo-wedding where they exchange rings."

"Satou also doesn't see this reason for murder as a bad thing, nor the murder as a bad thing - it's justified to her because she's protecting Shio and their love. The first thing she ever apologises to Shio for is kissing another girl and telling someone else she loves them - it was a lie to the other girl, but Satou still breaks down apologising to Shio for betraying their love this way. The only thing that matters to her is that she treats Shio with true love. Being with Satou brings Shio happiness and joy, and being with Shio is the only thing bringing Satou any form of emotion. Shio is her light and her reason for continuing on, she'd give up without her. The two are doomed from the start, with Satou dying and Shio keeping both wedding rings and Satou's ribbon, claiming Satou is in her heart and they're together forever now, but I am near certain if Shio didn't ask Satou to die together, they would've been able to find a way to retain a happy love life after leaving the town."

Bwen Propaganda (Incest - Cousins, Species Difference - Gwen is part Anodite)

"During the original series, Ben and Gwen were almost always bickering, arguing, name-calling (calling each other "Doofus" or "Dweebs"), making fun of each other, or fighting. They had a love/hate relationship. However, deep down they really do care about each other as shown on various occasions throughout the show. Especially in Secret of The Omnitrix, when Ben would go far lengths to keep Gwen out of danger. Such as transforming into Four Arms, despite the fact that the Omnitrix's self-destruct mode countdown would only accelerate. When he found out that she was still alive, he ran through the open field of heavy fire in order to hug her.

In the Omniverse continuation, even though Gwen went to college early in the show, both have openly stated that they miss each other a lot (hugging one another before she left in The More Things Change: Part 1). Gwen ALSO runs to hug Ben when he returns to Earth in The Frogs of War: Part 2. While I'm also very much an original continuation type of girl, their bickering relationship is toned down immensely in the 2016 reboot with more heartfelt and considerate moments between Ben and Gwen looking out for each other."

MegaStar Propaganda (Abusive Dynamic)

"They're absolutely horrible to eachother but cannot live without eachother as well. If they ever get their shit together and actually get along, the cartoons would be like, 5 episodes max."

"On a scale from 1-10 on the problematic scale, this ship sits at `someone made a flag against this ship`. I wish i was joking"

Coffincest Propaganda (Abusive Dynamics, Codependant Relationship, Incest)

"They're the protagonists of the game who are stuck in quarantine because `the water was infected` though by now this seems to not be true and the government just wants to let some people starve I guess."

"Their dynamic is really abusive with Ashley being possessive of Andrew and controlling his life since they were kids (making him accidentally kill a girl by asthma because she said she liked him, per example), and in the events of the game, convincing him to cannibalize their neighbor when he died to a demon (it's not like the wardens were giving them food sooo).

Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

Velphi Propaganda (Pseudo-Incest - Laphicet is the reincarnation of Velvet's unborn nephew, Age Gap - Laphicet is 10 while Velvet is 19, MinorxAdult, Possible Abusive Dynamic - Velvet initially not quite treating him as a person, and then proceeding to treat him as a replacement for her dead brother. She also pulls Laphicet's hair when angry and doesn't apologise for it)

"Their character arcs are inseparably intertwined. The two of them push each other to be People (Laphicet gaining individuality after spending most of his life a partially brainwashed Literal Slave, and Velvet remembering that Positive Emotions Exist after being traumatized and then immediately spending 3 years in solitary confinement).. At first their dynamic is genuinely terrible (at least for Laphicet); Velvet starts out barely seeing him as a person, and when she does start to see him as a person, the person she's seeing is her dead brother. But as the two of them grow, Laphicet gets more assertive and Velvet starts to see him as himself."

"Anyways, have a transcription of one of their best scenes: `No, I don't 'understand'! You snap at people! You're scary! You--You tried to eat me! But… you're also kind… and you're filled with life! I don't understand a single thing about you! But you gave me a name, when I was a number! You gave me that compass! You taught me what it meant to be alive! That's why I care about you, Velvet! I'll protect you for my own sake! I don't care if you're malevolent! Or if it was pointless! If the world says it's a mistake to love you, I'll fight the whole world! I don't care HOW much pain you feel! It doesn't matter! A world without you, Velvet… is the one thing I couldn't bear!`"

"Additionally! The big scene the night before you head into the final dungeon is Laphicet combing Velvet's hair while they talk about the future, and for a bit they pretend everything's going to work out fine and plan out a life together. (video!!! https://youtu.be/golhLiuq78g?feature=shared&t=3273 )"

"Their last scene together is Laphicet telling Velvet he loves her, and Velvet agreeing and making him promise her that he'll live out the rest of his life to the fullest."

"LESS SERIOUSLY

Velvet uses a really gentle tone of voice when she talks to Laphicet that she never uses for anyone else.

Laphicet gets teased by another party member about being motivated by caring about Velvet and he just blushes and agrees

The hot springs sidequest ends up being a bodyswap plot, and the two of them ended up briefly swapping bodies (while naked). Afterwards, Velvet teasingly asks him if he peeked.and he truthfully says he covered his eyes the whole time, to which velvet just goes :I didn't :)" -- Velvet also invited Laphicet to bathe with her at a different point in the game, but he was too flustered and refused

In Rays (a crossover game), the two of them try to live together in peace before the plot ruins it" -- After the end of the initial story of Rays they do manage to live together peacefully, and the game won't stop reminding us of it in event stories"

MakoYuma Propaganda (Selfcest, Cannibalisation, Questionable Dynamic)

"Makoto and Yuma are the same coin, just different sides. Different paths. Makoto continued isolating himself, Yuma opened up and let himself risk being hurt in order to make connections with people. Makoto turned his back on the truth, Yuma fought to expose it. Also, Makoto is simply Yuma's flesh-eating homunculus clone. So they're literally the same person, genetically."

Chosenshipping (Adoptive Incest - Siblings, Underage - ChildxChild [RGBY/GSC]/TeenxTeen[FRLG])

"When Blue and Silver were young children, they were whisked away by Bird Pokémon to be kidnapped by Gym Leader Pryce of Johto, who paired them together after pairing other children in a similar fashion. He made Blue and Silver wear masks of ice to keep their faces cold and hidden from the other person to prevent any feelings developing, but this just led to Blue and Silver looking out for each other more with how abusive Pryce had been."

"Blue ended up having a trigger for bird Pokémon, and Silver a struggle with not knowing his true father. With nobody else involved as family, Blue and Silver decided to call each other siblings. They began to treat each other as siblings, and planned their escape from the abusive situation. When Pryce's powers were weak, they removed each others' masks of ice, and Blue was delighted to see Silver's appearance, her face glowing in delight. Blue then went on to become a con artist and use her body to her advantage, and Silver left for Johto - Both intending to steal starter Pokémon." "Time passes, and we see Silver and Blue care for each other in more than sibling-like ways, too. Blue is a little TOO physically affectionate with Silver when she hugs him, almost glomping in some cases. Silver also gets jealous when others flirt with his sister, as though he has some romantic interest towards Blue, too. They chose each other after all the abuse they've been through, both as siblings and potentially as more, hence the name Chosenshipping. I love these two."

Shroudcest Propaganda (Age Gap, Incest)

"Ortho was built to replace the original, human Ortho, who died. Idia created him to cope with the loss of his younger sibling. Idia is a introvert who rarely leaves his house, and usually only talks to Ortho (other than online friends.)"

"Ortho's sole goal is to make Idia happy, but he's a bit selfish about it. He'd prefer if he was the source of Idia's happiness, not anyone else. They're very close to each other, and Ortho does whatever he can to make Idia happy. Idia is just very much struggling with the Origimal Ortho's death. It's so angsty and codependent"

Lapptex Propaganda (Potentially Abusive Dynamic)

"Lappland and Texas used to be in the mafia together but then shit happened (i'm not entirely up to date with Arknights Lore but i love them) and now even though Texas is trying to move on from her…past, Lappland still wants to challenge her to a duel so that she can `bring out the old Texas`. There's loads of murder involved. Lappland just wants to fight her so so so bad."

SasoDei Propaganda (Age gap - 19 and 35. Potentially minor x adult since Deidara joined the Akatsuki when he was 14.)

"They are opposites. They fight constantly about the benefits of permanence weighed against the benefits of eternity -- they are so different but in ways that complete each other."

"It's only a bonus that Sasori has made his body into a weapon filled with poisons and blades and all that dangerous bullshit that's likely to get Deidara killed. Deidara is a puppetfucker, it's written all over him, and Sasori is the only person he respects and listens to, and Sasori, with his short patience, somehow hasn't snapped and killed him yet. Absolutely INSANE dynamic. I would love to see more love for them."

Misato x Shinji Propaganda (MinorxAdult, Toxic Dynamic, Substance Abuse, MinorxGuardian, Pseudo-Incest)

"She's a lonely alcoholic whose job is to groom minors into doing war for the military. He's a middle school student who's never been shown affection and many headcanon him to have signs towards being trans. She gives him a tongue kiss and promises more if they survive in one of the OVAs.

They're not good for each other so much as they're two sad, scared, desperate people who have to take the shape of a family because family is something they do not have."

Elriccest Propaganda (Incest)

"Siblings so Codependent… Who else literally gave an arm and a leg to bind his brother's soul into a suit of armor so he didn't have to lose his only living blood relative (to their knowledge)? And Al was always willing to reciprocate to get Ed's arm and leg back. Inseparable."
