SHIPPING WARS SEASON 0 BEGINS!
Added 2024-08-26 21:05:04 +0000 UTC^^Edit: still need 2 noms, you have til midnight EST to contribute~^^
FIRST CATEGORY IS... BOYSU RABBU
Nominate in the comments your favorite ships from BL Media (anime, manga, light novels, manhwa, live action dramas, etc) - I WILL ALLOW DANMEI SHIPS TO BE INCLUDED (novel, manhua, donghua, live action drama).
The only requirement is that the ship is from a piece of media that is categorized as BL officially: no banana fish, no derivative doujinshi, no fancomics, no canon-couples-but-not-BL and etc. Additionally the ship does not have to be canon, if you watched Junjou Romantica but you shipped Misaki with Kamijou - then nominate them you person of impeccable TASTE.
Deadline for Nominations is next tuesday - Shipping Wars as you all will learn is centered around Tuesdays, when in doubt a deadline and/or release is ON A TUESSSDAYYY. I need 16 noms in total, I will fill the gaps myself if I dont get enough noms. If someone posts a ship you would also like to nominate, like their comment, if I get more than 16 noms I will prioritize noms with the most likes then decide the rest by my personal discretion. If anyone nominates more than one in a single comment I will choose the first one mentioned and treat that ship as the one "with the most likes" from the likes on the comment. Keep in mind I do NOT have to know OR like the ship, my approach to choosing is different than a husbando bracket, its about FEELING even if that feeling may be DISGUST LMFAOOOOOOO
More updates and changes in regards to Shipping Wars will be below, if you dont care Ill see ya on TUESDAY. If you have no clue what Shipping Wars is: TLDR its a Patreon only content bracket series where both patrons and myself choose the top ships from each category. More in depth explanation can be found Here.
Schedule Change:
I have decided for my own sanity to chop my intended plans for Shipping Wars effectively in half. Weekly was not sustainable or realistic especially since Im about to have a BUSYYYYY september for content creation (dont ask when camp buddy's reboot is coming i do not even know LMAO It will be before the end of the year i swear).
The new release of the VIDEO portion of this will be every other week HOWEVER SW will have something related to it posted weekly regardless. The Biweekly schedule will alternate between a Video For Category A + Nominations For Category B one week followed by a Poll For Category B the next week and then Video/Noms>Poll>Video/Noms>Poll as it goes. This way you all will have a full week to both nominate ships for every new category as well as vote in the patron poll for each category's nominations.
I had the top 16 categories chosen from the google form but I have decided to cut it down to the Top 8 but i still plan to end this on new years eve as previously scheduled. There will be a total of 9 videos because the 9th will still be the top 16 ships consisting of the 8 i chose in each bracket, and the 8 chosen in the patron poll for each category as well. If we choose the same winner for one or multiple categories, Ill cross that bridge when we get there LMAO.
I will reveal the results of the google form category nominations and what categories just missed making the Top 8 in the final video/post for this Season 0 of Shipping Wars. I have also created a Shipping Wars Season 0 Collection where everything will go to be referred to and found.
Thats all for now, intrigued to see how this goes lmao

2024-09-03 17:11:12 +0000 UTCThe main couple in dawn of the dragon. I forget their names. They are entering their all porn over plot arc before the reincarnated brother incest plot eventually thrusts itself into the main conflict.

2024-09-03 16:53:09 +0000 UTCOkay I've been down the manhwa rabbit hole lately, and I gotta nominate Wolfgang x Shin from King's Maker!

2024-09-02 23:51:25 +0000 UTCAoba x Mink from DMMD What can I say, I found their dynamic hotter and I'm thirsty for Mink lmao (Noiz x Aoba is a verrry close second though!)

2024-09-02 23:43:32 +0000 UTCUgetsu and Akihiko from Given.. cause listen, is it toxic? Yes.. are they coexisting in a cave? Sure.. is the push and pull between two of the most beautiful characters in that manga (aside from Yuki.. sorry, he’s dead.. spoiler alert) sexy as fuck? Yes. And I’m sorry, Haruki is just a little too boring for me. I’ve entered my villain era.

2024-09-02 23:41:59 +0000 UTCGotta return to a classic from "Sekaiichi": Yukina x Kisa edges out Takano x Onodera by a slim margin for me (having re-watched it as a ~30-something-year-old~ it was extra relatable lol). Another one that I regularly return to is "Fake" (the manga and the OVA) because damn, the will they won't they between Dee and Ryo is off the charts and it is so problematically camp. I also cannot forget to include Albert x Ranmaru from "Ikoku Irokoi Romantan" -- it's *Italian chef's kiss* (stupid) delicious.

2024-08-31 11:29:26 +0000 UTCHasekura/Kensuke from Hitorijime Boyfriend & Hitorijime My Hero, their dynamic is much more compelling to me than the main couple from that series. The scene where Hasekura says “Cut ties with me again or sleep with me Ken” lives rent free in my head lol

2024-08-30 05:08:02 +0000 UTCMy bias ship in the Shungiku Nakamura-verse is Kirishima/Yokozawa from Sekaiichi. I would also nominate an old school couple - Kazuki/Keita from Gakuen Heaven (I would also add in my actual bias ship Tetsuya/Kaoru from Gakuen Heaven too if we can do multiple ships from one series). And for an even older school...Klaus/Dorian from From Eroica with Love (though not sure if that meets requirements but taking the shot anyway lol)

2024-08-28 04:41:29 +0000 UTCIf Sasaki to Miyano is Boy's Life, then I'm nominating the ROOMMATES (can't stress that enough) Hirano and Kagiura. Their spinoff manga deserves its own anime

2024-08-27 22:18:52 +0000 UTCGonna go vintage here and say Ryo and Dee from Fake!! That manga was my fave and I still remember the joy of buying that saran-wrapped final volume LOL

2024-08-27 05:21:42 +0000 UTCYou’re gonna make me chooose ugh 😭 I had to spin a wheel for this lol so my nomination is Motochika Narasaki and Natsuki Terashima from Blue Sky Complex. They’re just a good couple I don’t know what else I can say about it lol

2024-08-27 00:26:08 +0000 UTCOKAY OKAY Now that I understand what is happening XDDD Hmmm, I have to be true to my vanilla heart and say Takano/Ritsu from the classic Sekaiichi Hatsukoi because when I think of just "boys love" that classic ~chime~ sounds in my head and I think of these two idiots XDDD

2024-08-26 22:10:40 +0000 UTCIf a music video can qualify (it is on MAL with the BL tag), I nominate Van and Basilis from The Naked King https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QQHM5qXuBg

2024-08-26 22:07:52 +0000 UTCOh we can nominate manga, epic, I will formally submit Kouhei/Taichi from I Hear the Sunspot! (it is a manga series and recently got a live action adaptation!) I specify manga because the live action series is still very recent and hasn’t gotten to the parts of the story where the relationship really kicks in to full gear. KouTai is there for the looooooooong haul, lots of misunderstandings, speeches about loving the other, the rare talk of disability that’s actually extremely fresh and nuanced, and of course, the ~sensuality~. Our main duo got close to having sex (they thumb wrestled to see who’d top lol) but the author officially said they wanted a love scene SO FOUR SEASONS VOL 3 MAYBE??? Pray for us Kris

2024-08-26 21:39:21 +0000 UTCControversial buuuut Sangwoo x Yoonbum and let me clarify, not in the context of the story itself really but moreso the idea of them coming across each other under different circumstances. Sangwoo in particular we see pre everything that happened to him was you know not inclined to murder and abuse….and I think the few tender moments and genuine moments of affection between him and Bum throughout the story was great. I really do see it kinda like right person at the wrong time.
