Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

Despaircest Propaganda (Incest, 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🖤."

Junkocest Propaganda (Selfcest, Abusive Dynamic)

"Junko Enoshima gave herself memory issues with the help of Yasuke Matsuda, resulting in her brain forming the persona of Ryoko Otonashi - a girl with horrendous memory issues who only wanted to start a corn farm on the moon with her crush. However, despite Junko giving herself these memory issues, she was still able to manipulate Ryoko into seeing visions of her, feeling threatened, and even push her to cause more harm where it wasn't necessary. Junko had constantly been manipulating Ryoko, who was oblivious to the whole thing. I bet Junko would find this amnesiac version of herself so cute."

Propaganda for all ships under the cut.

DottoScara Propaganda (Abusive Dynamic, Species difference)

"Dottore went out of his way to break Kabukimono's heart and influence him to eventually become Scaramouche. This was a century-long project. Man was COMMITTED. They're mutually using each other but Dottore is smarter than Scaramouche so the power dynamic is a little…. yk….. but anyways. So much of Scaramouche is influenced by Dottore. The way he speaks. The way he views people. The way he views himself. It's all got Dottore in it. Even now, when Scaramouche is trying to get better, his color scheme is pretty similar to Dottore's. Scaramouche hates Dottore with his entire being but also, he puts Dottore on a pedestal. Dottore isn't like any other human he's met. Scaramouche wants to tear Dottore apart but he also seeks Dottore's affection, his approval, his focus. And Dottore wants to mold Scaramouche to become something great, something more. Dottore hasn't lost interest in Scaramouche for nearly 400 years. Dottore gets bored very easily, so that's incredible. They're just. Forever linked. When Scaramouche lost his memories of Dottore, he was almost like a blank slate. Dottore gave him everything."

Crepluc Propaganda (Incest, Age Difference, MinorxAdult if Crepus is still alive, Necrophilia is Diluc is 18+)

"So much of Diluc's struggles in life are centered around the loss of his dad. While Crepus was alive, he was unable to become a Knight of Favonius but Diluc believed that Crepus helped with the protection of Mondstadt JUST as much in his own way. He looked up to Crepus so much that he became the youngest Calvary Captain in the Knights of Favonius. He was SO happy with his dad around, delighting in life at every opportunity. So when Crepus died on Diluc's eighteenth birthday, it BROKE Diluc. It led to a huge fallout between the Knights. He ended up quitting the organization and taking over his dad's Winery - While Diluc isn't a drinker, he wants to carry on his father's legacy. He's trying so hard to keep his dad's name in good standing and relevancy... It's so bittersweet but there's so much love to it. So much of Crepus is part of Diluc..."

Lyncest Propaganda (Incest)

"There's a flower language in the Genshin Impact game, which has Rainbow Roses - one of the flowers - said to represent passion and romantic encounters. During Lyney's story quest, when he hands a Rainbow Rose to the MC, his sister Lynette gets jealous, despite knowing the romantic connotations. She outright states `I don't recall ever having received a Rainbow Rose from you myself. Is this supposed to mean that they're more important to you than your own sister?` - She was expecting a symbol of romantic encounters from her own brother. On top of that, during the Archon Quest, Lyney states I just imagined for a second what I would do if Lynette were to suddenly disappear… I'd pay any price to get her back` - These two would do anything to stay with and be with each other."

Sigewinnette Propaganda (Species Difference, PERCEIVED Age Difference)

"Sigewinne is a helpful little Melusine (slug girl) doctor who works in a prison and wants to make sure everyone is healthy and looked after. During one of the quests, as thanks, she sends Neuvillette a homemade milkshake. Melusines are quite old... However, due to her species she looks quite young, while Neuvillette looks much older. Neuvillette, on the other hand, is a dragon who wishes to pass fair judgement on all criminals - some of them Sigewinne will end up treating."

"Neuvillette has some... perculiar lines about Melusines, Sigewinne in particular. `Melusines are beautiful creatures. They are the pride of Fontaine. Be sure to befriend them, and cause them no harm` has no odd connotations, but when you get to his later line... `I don't know how Sigewinne is faring these days. But if I hear so much as the whiff of a rumor that she's being bullied, I shall summon Wriothesley here and demand an explanation. She's so kind and vulnerable... She brought me some Kamera film the last time she visited, and asked to listen to more of my commentary on the water of Natlan... How long is it until her next vacation?`, while protective, can read as him longing after Sigewinne to me. This dragon man just seems to... Have a thing for these tiny slug girl Melusines."

Neuvillotter Propaganda (Species Difference, Feral x Humanoid)

"I'm gonna be honest, homie, I just submitted this one as a joke since people thing Neuvillette and the Otters have similar vibes. Neuvillotter sweep."

Suitrumaki Propaganda (Unconfirmed Assumed Age Difference, Stalker+Stalkee, Potential MinorxAdult with Kokoro being 17)

"The Suits have been employed specifically to continuously and near-permanently stalk Kokoro (at any location outside of school) and grant her any and every wish she may have. No matter how large, or how ridiculous, the suits will overhear every wish Kokoro has for her life and her friends, and go to no end to try and achieve it for the girl."

"Kokoro's goal is to make as many people smile as possible, she wants everyone to be happy and joyful, so why not give her ALL of these employees to make smile by dating them and having them gain warm feelings of accomplishment when not only they help her with her dreams, but she ends up helping them back!"

"The Suits need more love, and Kokoro seems for sure the right girl to give it to them! She's so eager to please everyone as much as possible!"

Reimob Propaganda (Age Gap, MinorxAdult, MentorxMentee, EmployeexBoss)

"It’s psychic kid + fake-psychic boss who drags the kid along and makes him do all the exorcisms for him. They’re wonderful and charming, and end up fighting a lot of other psychics along the way. Psychic kid has a lot of issues with self esteem and bottling up emotions and his sleazy-ass boss is actually a good person and encourages him and helps him become more confident."

Ritmob Propaganda (Incest, Sorta-Power Imbalance)

"Mob has always looked up to his little brother for being able to be so popular and accomplish so many things without having psychic powers. Ritsu has always wanted psychic powers like Mob and has a ““bit”” of an inferiority complex."

ZorcRyou Propaganda (Abusive Relationship, Species Difference, Age Difference - Bakura is 15, Zorc is 3000+)

None that fits the bracket initially provided - feel free to Reblog with your own propaganda for this ship's advancement in the bracket

Pancakeshipping Propaganda (Incest - MotherxSon, Age Difference - Yoko is 34 and Yuya is 14, AdultxMinor, AdultxTeen)

"Yoko is often shown to be overly affectionate to Yuya in closer ways than typical for most mothers, the amount of times she's close to him that could be mistaken as overly-coddling out of attraction is difficult to count."

Newhomeshipping Propaganda (Age Difference - Yoko is 34 and Sora is 13, AdultxMinor, AdultxTeen)

"As soon as Sora comes in to Yoko's life, she instantly unofficially adopts him, and begins coddling him far more than Yuya - even letting Sora steal Yuya's pancakes with no repercussions. Sora then began to live with her for his entire time within the Standard Dimension, and only Yuya questioned this. It's strange, because she didn't seem to rehome Yuzu or the other kids in this way until much later on, she just picked up Sora for near no reason, other than that he was cute. Sora also appreciated Yoko enough to want to stay there, rather than finding another home"

Febreezeshipping Propaganda (Age Difference - Yoko is 34 and Yuzu is 14, AdultxMinor, AdultxTeen)

Nurseryshipping Propaganda (Age Difference - Yoko is 34 and while Ayu has no canonical age she is a child, AdultxMinor, AdultxChild)

"Yoko is often seen with Ayu during her time at You Show Duel School, treating her with the same kindness and love that she treats Yuya, which is closer and more intimate than most mothers. It's not out of the question for her to go too far with that on occassion"

Poissonchantshipping Propaganda (Age Difference - Yuzu is 14 and while Ayu has no canonical age she is a child, MinorxMinor, TeenxChild, Underage)

"In episode 3, Ayu and Yuzu are kidnapped along with other children and sent flying into the sky on a large tower, which the kidnapper then attempts to crumble down. A life-or-death like that can lead to some strange feelings about the people you were kidnapped with."

Rhimeru Propaganda (Age Gap - Mercuria is 12 and Richter is 20, MinorxAdult)

"Mercuria reminds Richter of himself, so even though she's a horrible brat early in the story, and even though it ends up endangering him a few times, Richter goes out of his way to look after her and help push her towards the right path. (At one point, Richter wakes up from essentially being possessed, hears Mercuria is Extremely in danger, and tries to run off alone after her (and only settles for running off with help instead))"

"In return, Richter is one of the first people Mercuria shows true consideration for. In fact, Richter having his personality and memories temporarily replaced with essentially a blank slate is one of the big things that shoves her through her character arc."

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"

Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

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."

HashiTobi Propaganda (Incest)

Propaganda was an Explicit Fic, due to being Explicit, Propaganda has been removed. We appreciate Explicit content as a manner of exploring characters and enjoying fiction, but won't use Explicit content in Propaganda.
