Yaoi

[redroses2]

It's my superhero power. :3

I am more of a Shizuo/Izaya person myself.... but I've actually seen a lot of people ship Izaya with Kida or Mikado. I haven't seen Shizuo with them before though.....

[redroses2]

Here's some tame AMVs for Shizuo x Mikado, just so you guys know what I've been looking at that makes me think that they'd make a cute couple. No spoilers as far as I know, but with how little I know, who knows really. ^^'





(Granted, in some of the pictures, I swear it's Izaya instead of Mikado because of how Mikado is drawn....)



And that's it, really. ^^' There's also a fun Shizaya video to "Take Me on the Floor" and some really cute Kida x Mikado. I haven't really watched any of the Izaya x Mikado videos if Shizuo and/or Kida aren't also in them and being shipped with Mikado. (I simply find Mikado to be easily shippable. For me at least, there's always that one character who I feel like I can ship with anyone and have it be awesome.)

So. I think I might be getting my first yaoi ship? I'm starting to become a thiefshipper. Personally, I blame the copious amounts of YGOTAS I've been watching, because that would be the only time I can see thiefshipping happening. HA.

The majority of my ships are still hetero though. For some reason, I feel bad that I don't like/enjoy yaoi ships as much as you guys do. Even though it's my personal preference to have hetero ships, and I can't get into yaoi ships as much, I still feel awful because I feel like it makes me homophobic?
Some people say it doesn't (and I don't consider myself to be). Maybe I should stop thinking of what people think about me. Hehehe.

[redroses2]

Yay! (I've considered this us converting you. XD I kid, I kid.)

I don't have many yuri ships, even though I'm queer, but that doesn't make me anti-lesbian. My number of hetero ships are also considerably less than my yaoi ships, but I don't hate heteros. It all depends on whether or not you can feel the chemistry between the characters - or at least it is for me - and if you can sense it between more hetero couples than homo couples, that's perfectly fine. Quite frankly, I have difficulty turning my yaoi detector off sometimes. So I actually get fairly excited when I can find a non-yaoi ship, but yaoi ships are my favorite.

I will say this - I've been watching ahead in Durarara, and the fact that I really don't get a Shizaya vibe from the show, I'm going to have to hide from fangirls if I ever share that fact outside of the Internet. I like my body parts where they are. ^^'

For shame. LOLZ

@tkb It doesn't make you homophobic, you just haven't found the right pairings is all. =w= One yaoi pair will lead to another, my dear. Trust me. If you really want to get into yaoi, though, watch a yaoi anime - a puppy love one, to ease yourself in. But you don't have to like what everyone else likes. Het pairings are just as good.

[TKB]

Well crap, I'm starting to getting into tendershipping.

NO LIGHTXHOPE WILL ALWAYS BE MY OTP.

[HikariNoRyuu]

@tkb You should seriously watch the anime No.6. It's got a little of everything, including a bit of shounen-ai. And said shounen-ai pairing is impossible to not fall in love with. Trust me. :3

[stashoslash]

If you want an adorable yaoi ship that is seriously nothing but puppy love, try watching Kyou Kara Maoh. I'll even watch it with you, since I lurv it so very much.

[TKB]

Screw Thiefshipping even though it's hilarious, I'm 100% a tendershipper. There, I said it.

[redroses2]

ROTFL - oh my God, Frenchie. That is amazing. <3

At AWA, I bought my first yaoi doujinshi. It has very little nudity, but the cover lied to me. It should have more Shizuo, darn it! The covers imply it's a threesome! Granted, it's in Japanese, so I can't read it, only look at the pretty pictures. That said, my favorite parts of it are the covers and the looks on Mikado's face. It's clear he's calling the shots in his little three-way with Shizuo and Izaya, and if the bondage wasn't present, the look in his eyes in so many of the pictures would communicate that perfectly. The artist(s) made Izaya look too much like a conventional uke, though - which he definitely would not be if he was an uke.

And Shizuo totally needed to be in it more. He was literally only present in one of the four short stories and only in a couple pictures outside of that story. It was the closest I could find to Mikado x Shizuo, though. Literally all the other Durarara doujinshi were Shizaya and a couple Kodota x Kida. A whole row of Shizaya, two copies of the same Kodota x Kida doujinshi, and one single Mikado x Izaya x Shizuo that leaned more on the Mizaya and Shizaya side of things, when what I really wanted was Mizuo.

But I like the take on Mikado's character that it has. Seme!Mikado/Dom!Mikado is a very attractive concept.
