#top 50 ships

[destinationtoast]

This is such a great list/set of analyses! Thanks to Randomist1031 for putting in the work to collect and share this data.

I'll be doing my annual top fandoms/ships/characters based on public works sometime in January (ish). But it's REALLY good to have the private works listed also, and to see how that varies by ship!

Saying Sukugo only works if you mischaracterize at least one of them is wild

"i wanted to reach Sukuna"

"you cleared my skies. I will never forget you for as long as i live"

How the fuck do you read this manga???

I hate how I have to clarify to people that I don't ship timecest, especially because my blog is mainly about the twins. I should NOT have to clarify ANYTHING. It's common sense to NOT ship siblings, heck, FAMILY together.

having a toxic fucked up ship in a greek mythology based fandom is dangerous....but difficult to avoid

I hate to be “that person” but there’s something wrong with the Top 100 ships of AO3 stats list. Based on how it is reported to be calculated, at least three huge ships were left off.

[wildpeachfarm]

rip no dteam ship made it to the top 100 ao3 ships for 2024

we've fallen off 😢

THIS IS NOT THE ENERGY WE WANT ANON

but also yeah that was bound to happen eventually tbh the fandom has literally gotten chopped into a 4th of what it was when it was getting numbers like that so it makes sense when other fandoms are BOOMING right now

*also writer support these days literally sucks ass some people in this fandom hate supporting writers fr*

[princeof-flowers]

I'm sorry for wanting to fuck that old man so much. 😔 It WILL continue to happen.

[literallytooangrytodie]

i think the fell xenologue does a great job at characterizing some of the royals beyond the vanilla game mostly because every single royal has like one or two core principles that really make them who they are and so getting rid of those one or two things completely converts them into a completely different person. like alcryst losing his self doubt, celine loses her empathy, hortensia loses her resilience, etc etc. but i think my favorite version of this has to be fogado, who has in my opinion the most drastic change. i think all of the other royals have very outward presenting traits that you can easily catch onto and see theyve lost. but fogado is just a little different, because what fell fogado lacks isnt really a trait; he loses his sense of love. (rest under the cut bc it turned into an essay. my bad also fell xenologue spoilers obvs)

“our” fogado (?? idk how to differentiate between them. work with me here) is not an easy person to read in universe. he makes it very clear in chapter 13 that he’s pretty good at deception and is very willing to make use of that skill. his supports with timerra and pandreo also tell us he’s gotten used to keeping up a specially crafted persona meant to kind of suppress his feelings (that timerra and pandreo can see through but. like 1. theyre smart 2. sister and bff ok moving on). but he doesn’t do it out of malice or because he just likes being tricky, he lies because he loves. everything in fogado’s life is shaped by what he loves: his country, his friends, and his sister. every single motivation he has is fueled by this: the constant partying, how often he leaves the castle, all his acting. its even in his goddamn class name (cupido) and birthday (feb 14) if you needed the game to spell it out for you

so thats why when we get to the fell xenologue, the fogado we meet is changed in that one specific way: his love is gone. we know this because of a few things, the first of which is that he is honest. aside from the robe (in which he is assassinating someone! but also. lets be so honest with ourselves here. you can see his fucking face) he’s immediately upfront with his intentions: he wants the bracelets, he wants power, and he wants you to die. and thats it. he just kind of hands you that information, and then fucks off when you win. on what earth would our fogado do that? dude wouldnt even tell you if he broke his leg, he just partied a little hard last night. but thats just it isnt it? our fogado lies because he loves people, hes protecting them. fell!fogado is transparent because he’s not protecting anyone, he doesn’t care.

but the biggest kicker in fell!fogado’s lack of love is in his interaction with our timerra. our fogado loves his sister more than anything, as he literally plans his entire life around making HER life easier. he sacrifices even just spending time with her just because he needs to make sure hes fully prepared to keep her safe (not that timerra wants that for him but he doesnt really get that. which is another topic i could dive into but this post is long enough lets not make it a novel). fell!fogado though? well you see–

any love fogado holds for his sister, or any love at all really, is just not present in fell!fogado. and you could say that maybe its just because of the corruption, but then why do we still see love between the fierenese and brodian siblings? even fell!timerra still loves her brother if her conversation with our fogado is anything to go off of. but the writers know that fogado lives and dies on his love for people, its his entire being and so much more so than the rest of the cast. which is why thats what had to change in him for the fell xenologue. it wasnt really just a flip of the switch haha murder thing (though. it could have been handled better. lets be real) but it was the loss of everything that makes fogado him. and i think the fact that this gets to be highlighted in the dlc just makes base game fogado all that much more interesting, because it cements his motivation now that we know what he's like without it. fogado is a guy driven by love and its just fucking great

my unpopular opinion is that imogen/fearne would be more interesting at this point in the campaign than imogen/laudna. Not saying that's it's more likely (than any ship, frankly), just that i find the pieces more compelling

Agreed! What if we were both Ruidusborn and dealt with parental abandonment as a direct result of that and were in the process of learning how to treat other people well instead of acting mostly on our own whims/convenience and had only just recently left home and were figuring out where we fit into a world that is incredibly exciting but at times makes us uncomfortable and we were both girls.

top/bottom discourse is fascinating to me because i think pretty much everyone gets themselves sorted into a little niche where everyone is shipping the same way but its not like, necessarily the same way you personally ship. it's easy to forget that fandom is extremely self-selecting AND that you don't always self-select people with the exact same opinions as you.

I know that handmade stuff deserves to cost what it does but y'all....38$ for a crop top is not affordable come ON
